Shades of pale; skin deep in camouflage. <br /> She who's chameleon hues, <br /> Conceal the sacrifice of self. <br /> Shades of pale; virtues alien in despair. <br /> She; who's whitewashed face, <br /> resembling Madonna can survive. <br /> Shades of pale; flesh toned in application. <br /> She; who's masquerade upon the worldly stage, <br /> Portraits her virgin image. <br /> Shades of pale; pure in celibacy. <br /> She who's true identity lives, <br /> As Madonna's alias can survive.<br /><br />Kathryne B.
