The Fog on the Bathroom Mirror

aVividOverdose

beauty:
the application of lies
 to the cheeks and lips and eyes;
or the fear of the world's demeaning stare.

perfection:
a flawless representation of someone you are not.
a searing reminder of how far you are from being right.
a measuring stick with frequent growth spurts.
correct.
good.
worthy of the skin that is charitable enough to hang on your disgusting bones.

face:
one more reason the world would be better without you.
a conglomeration of muted Ugly.

self esteem:
the thing you're lacking most.

criticism:
a destructive force that you have mastered.

love:
easily accessible,
highly desirable,
and often hidden behind your fear
of the all too foggy bathroom mirror.

Poetry is, and should be, the essence of a person. Like a painting, a fingerprint, or the unique way each person's eyes sparkle, poetry cannot be copied or replicated. That's what I love about it. I write to get stuff off my chest. I write in the hopes that someone out there understands how I feel.Thank you all for putting your hearts out there. I love reading your poetry.A lot of the stuff I post here isn't posted anywhere else. This site is like a private journal for me, except I actually get to share my feelings with someone else. I love reading reviews of my poems from people I've never ever met before. Somehow, not knowing you all personally except through your poetry is totally freeing to me. In a way, you are all some of my best friends. Thank you for reading/rating/reviewing. I promise to return the favor each time I see your name on my site.<3 aVividOverdose more…
