Reflections

The face in the mirror
has mascara rivers
running down her cheeks
staining black upon her breast.

Her face is rigid,
molded into a mask
of the world's expectations
hiding the under lying pain.

But her eyes...
the flaming soul windows
showing real rage, true loss...
can't hide from her heart's truth.

She averts her gaze
and looks at the clutter of her vanity,
wondering how she lost herself
in the potions and lipsticks of life.
