Me

“Beautiful smile”
eyes engulfed    steals the crowd
“thank you”
fakest pageant  voice    presidential smile

beautiful smile ???
do you see what i see
hear what i hear
touch the glass
taste the bitter
feel the burden 

“Strength of a Goddess, how does she do it” ?
“how do i do it”?
pillar of confidence    indestructible cape

“how do i do it” ???
fatigue   slug body
heavy eyelids
pumping   throbbing   brain
racing 
maze  finish line…
crumbling pillar
endless clouds   of smoke
residue   of hope

“She was,   so
Amazing    Phenomenal, etc. etc…
Heads  shake    bow down
catch tears

light a candle
pass the hope
