decades of passing dreams
life's corruption
V
I
L
E
villainous eruptions
what is this evil
that faces outward--reflects backward
to a distant past

hormonal shift
death-defying chocolate
W
I
S
H
screaming nervous
reaction
layers of cover-up
cautious pick at--
a moment of reality
that once again my facade
is twice again
a torturous road map
of red bumps

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Thanks friends, but this wasn't actually referring to myself, although I can relate and will admit to an occasional wee bump.

There is a woman I work with, who is in my same age group and she was going on and on about how all the bumps on her face were making her crazy.  Then she made a comment about "puberty revisted" and I said that is a poem...!
