I've been encouraged to post, it took me a little while to decide which one should go first, so I'm reflecting the current mood.
Be gentle with me lol :)
If I stand close enough and close my eyes
I feel I’m seeing myself inside.
My mind has an image, a smile and a wink.
The glow within is easy to feel.
But I open them slowly and a frown appears
Because what is inside is not real.
Before me is a form that just doesn’t match.
Those eyes catch my focus, searching for a glow.
The misty spread of the edges begins
The shimmering blue sparkles enticing me in.
The face in the mirror has fattened and creased
The body below it is scarred and neglected
Trickery starts with angles and poses
Items of fabric strategically placed
Glitter and gloss dusted and painted
My special things masking the truth
Clearing the mist
Attempting the glow.
Bringing the inside out, hiding below.
