She glides into the room
the sun beams dance upon her face
Every lust-filled glance
Makes her smile
while her heart screams in disgrace

Perfect is in denial

She hides the scars of loss and pain
she wants them to love her
but only for her brain
Smarts would only defile
Her vanity won't concur

Perfect is in denial

She waits for someone
to peek inside
and behold all that
society tells her she has to hide
And so she resolves to wait awile
Holding herself as though a cornered cat

Perfect is in denial

Once again
She looks into the mirror
surprised at her own reflection
Not knowing who or what will appear
without the slightest hint or detection
she faces the world and once again

She has perfected imperfection

This is a lovely poem, denial is something that we all do, but none of us need, just being yourself should let the unique perfection show through- and we all have something good about us . If the poem is about the writer as I fear then just let people love you for who you are ... I once wrote a poem very similar to this one, I hate denial so much...then again, maybe that's because I'm in denial about being in denial !!! he he he, confused myself now . Loved the poem, so deep and meaningful .
