Beautiful lady, enough looking for sparkly things
the crayons, you used to draw the sun on top right ends,
you now draw on your decaying tired veil
its terrifying enough dear, to weep and mourn
for missed opportunities & insecurities you formed in your world
but what now, if for sake of your survival,
you bottle after bottle,
till you don’t feel it
the point where deathly arguing with it
becomes daily habit
shrugs of nothing’s wrong
and barren hearts
I deplore,
your hungry hands & hollow tendencies
You are enough, abundant in fact,
your merriment is really quite tangible
