Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.&rdquo; <br /> ― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Twisting, turning
Catapulting
Catastrophe
Bruises burn
Hot pokers plunge
Beneath the skin
Are scars
Eternal
Never fading
Never healing
Seeps into every pore
As you struggle
Caught in a bed of quicksand
Broken
