You're nothing short of infectious <br />You're an incurable disease <br />You walk around like you're weightless <br />But you're nothing that you seem <br />You wear silk and lace like armor <br />The make up you apply is a mask of gold <br />People bow to their knees to please you <br />They are your paper dolls to fold <br />The pedestal they place you on <br />Magnifies your synthetic plastic perfection <br />The public may eat up your facade <br />But you can't lie to your own reflection <br />You bat those beautiful blue eyes of yours <br />Like waves in an ocean of glittering perfection <br />You smile like a heart attack <br />You are the cure as well as the infection <br />Your body is like cancer <br />Kisses from you set a man to self destruct <br />Every hand you play with is loaded <br />Your beauty doubles itself as luck <br />Pretty girl you make them wonder <br />How something so flawless could exist <br />How skin so China white could keep from breaking <br />Or how you keep the candy red color infinitely stained to your lips <br />The world is your red carpet <br />Your cosmetics do well to cover your decay <br />Behind the scenes your pearls are really a noose <br />And the diamonds are masquerading blades <br />The person you present is never you <br />Your looks tell not of who you are inside <br />Of course you are a quite convincing fake <br />But alone In The Mirror You Cannot Hide<br /><br />Tatianna Rei Moonshadow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-mirror-you-cannot-hide/
