Here is a poem I penned and contributed to
Arwen's 9 words: a poetry challenge thread:
9 words:
perfection, beauty, truth, damaged, trick, proud, demons, pretty, control
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hiding behind the veneer of
damaged beauty, is
nothing but sheer love
of self interest, in
the name of proud demons
not worthy of a sinner's reproach.
Truth is, control is no
Perfection:
It's a trick, if you trade
Self worth ---
In exchange for
What's yours, by birth.
