Behind the Curtain, SLAM

Location

Pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain,
her heart is filled with hurt, deceit.
A woman who's built a reputation and has standards none can match
hides behind the perception that only perfection is enough.
 
Weakness is not an option.
Strength,
Power, 
Success
Surround her way of life.
 
The pedestal she stands on, however, is built on a pile of lies.
Inside she's made of insecurities and questions of her life.
 
She wonders if she's worth the praise and compliments she receives,
But behind the curtain, SLAM, she'll never live to see.
