False Images of Me

Something from a while ago when I was fighting with my best friend. This is for you my angel, you know who you are.

I'm beautiful behind
Shadow of blue
and that sweet mascara
To hide me from you

But deep down i'm dying
Breaking up and ugly
A heart to far gone now
So I can't keep smiling

I create the image
Of flawless beauty
But really i'm nothing
But a false deity

Don't look up to me
I don't want you to fall
I just need a hand now
And you can't help at all

I've pulled you down 
I slowed your progress
Hurt the joy you had
Such a horrid process

 

All the pain

And all the sorrow

Filling me withing

Will still be here tomorrow

 

And even though I'm flawless

My disguise is full of holes

I'm all together thoughtless

And I don't fit in this role

 

Here I go falling

All over again

Taking no one with me

And leaning into Him

 

I loved you all too much

And I let it hit me

That this won't last forever

So say goodbye to me

 

Let go of me completley

As I die here in your lap

And there will be no differance

It's as if I'm taking a nap

the honesty displayed in lyrical formations here has incredible depth in that it strips the paints from skin and opens the heart in all its faults and beauty~

I feel like the first three stanzas are a really good summation of how many girls feel. A facade of self confidence to mask low self esteem. Its very well expressed. The rest is full of powerful emotion and the feeling of falling. I enjoyed the read.

Yay! I'm glad you like it Maggie!

I knew this all along that you were being fake...knew that the makeup and the smiles were all just a mask. But for Ionia's sake please don't try to be the teacher's pet again! I wanted to vomit, LOL!

I feel as if the last stanza is unfinished. It could have been more powerful, and there were a few mistakes here and there but either way, this is going in my Library :)
