Life ~ A Mere Fake Play

I sit before the mirror,
all decked up for the play...
My hair curled up into a bun,
holding tight my thoughts, so stray.

I sit before the mirror,
all decked up for the play...
My lavender gown flowing along,
camouflaging away, my dreadful scars.

I sit before the mirror,
all decked up for the play...
The lovely brouch on my breast,
shadowing my bleeding heart in despair.

I sit before the mirror,
all decked up for the play...
The beautiful pair of white sandals,
anchoring me, down to this hell.

I sit before the mirror,
all decked up for the play...
Adorned with the fake smile,
ready to cheat, lie and betray.
