Location
Underneath the makeup
And underneath the scars,
Titanium plates –
They break her heart.
Once a pretty face,
A joyride gone wrong,
Now an ugly memory
Is all that belongs.
A beautiful girl,
Adored by the world
Stands before the curtain.
Behind it – a different story.
Through the mirror she sees
The painful bad dream.
The imperfections they said
Would be corrected.
A beautiful girl,
Adored by the world –
That is all they see.
But in the mirror she sees
The painful bad dream
And all of the imperfections.
