The Complexion
Perfect to see yet flawed
for you see this façade
a face unsure, a mind so pure
unlike any other invisible complexion.
An opaque wall, dark, and brooding, is this mask
it shades the face behind
the person become unseen.
The complexion is protected
ever so perfected
with only one defect
the pure mind withers and rots away.
Innocence turns
and is faced with tragedy.
The complexion walks into view
reflecting no meaning
streets are blurred as I walk
and underneath it breaks.
The pieces fall
unveiling the truth I face.
