Eccedentesiast

Exquisite definition of porcelain skin.
Cosmetic, betraying what is within.
Creepy scars of emotional drain
Entirely based on self-disdain.
Devoid of pleasure dispensed,
Elastic features unrecompensed.
Neon lights that flash of guilt
Tantamount to dying daisy's wilt.
Evermore in sadness reigns
Scary images wrapped in chains.
Initially and suddenly rises
Action that eventually excises
Smiles not natural, likelier disgrace,
Tears belie that faience face.

A thoughtful, thought-provoking poem! about eccedentesiasts, a word I actually know what it means (lol-because I just looked it up, along with faience, so I just learned something)

Used as a coping mechanism, that's a six syllable word ! The scars should vary creepy, so sad. Favorite line "Tears belie that faience face." Great job, besti
