Disoriented
August 19, 2011
Numb to the touch
Nothing appears to be real
Pressured by a society
Telling her
What she’s authorized
To feel
An artificial smile
Plastered
To deceive
She illustrates a happiness
Which others yearn
To see
Her existence
Solely complying
With what
She believes
To be expected
Her life
An act
Which criticisms
Have directed
