Life Lies

i know the talent of my mind

is making you arrogant



i have it .....

and there it is.....



the gift of being able

to dress up costume jewelry



as if it were real



so i go on

and forget

the costume was



only for show



then old winter 

sneaks in ....

and the sun



turns her face away



how ironic....

i think of winter

as  you.

I love this poem. It’s got a lot truth, but what’s the irony of winter and make up? I believe that it’s good to be natural than making up This piece is awesome… keep your passionate pen walking and working on your poetry pad. Great you!
