Unknown Reality
November 5, 2011
She comes home
Hair tied up
Glasses instead of contacts
Make-up washed away
Tight clothing removed
Sweats pulled on
Heels kicked off
Now unrecognizable
Headphones blaring
Pen scrawling across a journal
Tears slipping down her face
As she tries to hold herself together
Alone
She allows her true self to show
For the first time today

There's so much truth in this poem and that's basically why I like it. Keep posting :) p.s i love what you said in your description- perfection truly is only skin-deep :)
Check out my poem "Ghosts of the Past" and rate/comment? Would really appreciate it.
