"...it is better to be a part of beauty
for one instant and then cease to
exist than to exist forever
and never be a part of beauty...."

Left feeling foreign.


And there they were, but two little feet that remained strong enough to hold this body in all of its entirety. Just 90 degrees above them, a mirror, a repetitive image that sort of resemble myself, however this time I had found myself at faints fall. Behind my eyelids I could see the smoke begin to roll out beneath itself as the chemicals inside of my brain began to boil. Now trailing Covergirl, tears.... and without them... I would hesitate his lisp.
I lost my shade of excellence, the glow, the pearl essence that determines just exactly how I am feeling, thinking, dreaming, wanting, and longing for one persuasive conversation.
I have lost myself and every ounce of integrity that used to once reside inside of me. I found myself worn out, blistered, and weary. I can only remember reaching behind the mirror for what I found was a note... reminding me to refill.... like my script, I am vacant and left feeling foreign.
Gathering every ounce of strength my shallow breaths allow, I am again face to face with myself. My semi-permanent now a smear, I inhale so soundly that beneath me I can feel the devil begin to panic. I can not surrender, I can not break, nor will I provide a doubtless amazement for their sketch. Echoing now, the sound of a great pair of high heel black patent leather mary janes. And like every Aquarius.... my steps are patiently counted.
