Costume Jewelry

Contributed by Deidra_Carmichael on Wednesday, 13th July 2011 @ 11:12:33 AM in AEST
Topic: anguished



This garb and makeup just won't come off 
Neither assistance nor my own will shall work
All the tissues and cleansers I wasted accumulate 
Never leaving my lonely wastebasket

My companions are bold and exaggerated
Such are the characteristics of costume jewelry 
Of course I have not been able to break character
That is one facade turns into another; my genuine
Inner being constantly attending a masquerade 

At one point I attempt to break free
Of this bondage I have learned to live with
All this time I have been a victim of my own game 
And still perhaps I am; this costume jewelry 
Is quite pretty and I don't know how to let go
Will I ever be able to take it off and look
From a long long distance

I appreciate what you are trying to do here. Trapped by comforting, beautiful, yet false items. Your fear of leting go. I agree. Life requires safety blankets

I'm sorry . I was blissfully unaware of the story you are covering. Sounds like we don't have enough evidence for one thing so let's go to town on another. Most times women get easy sentences. This time, would a man be treated differently?
Myra hindley was a hate figure in England, perhaps more than Ian Brady. Both as guilty as hell. However, women don't do that sortof thing. Trial by television. Very entertaining. Sold a lot of papers and advertisements.
