Counterfeit Allure
The kind of girl everyone thinks they know
Her thoughts reek of desperation
And she has look in her eye that screams deception
But there’s that seductive smile scrawled across her face
Her counterfeit allure
Amid all of the snap judgments
There lies a real girl
Cocky, self assurance that disguises every insecurity
A bat of her lashes, and she’s got you hooked
Reeling people along is what she thrives for
It’s the only way she feels in control
A broken heart and a shattered soul
Everyone thinks they know, but they can never see
The hollow, empty feeling she knows so well
The undetectable tears she cries at night
The concealed scars on her frail figure
She’s the most flawed perfection
A tarnished piece of art
Just a cheap cliché in the world of the overused
Trying too hard to be anyone’s everything
Only left to be everyone’s nothing
Torn between the faux expectations of everything right
Longing to spread her wings
Shed old skin, and expose true colors
Prove every judgment wrong
A life of lies
In too deep to change
The only escape is to forget
Left with the unnerving guilt stricken sense of
Regret.
