Silly Girl

Seething sounds of laughter, escape her soft, gentle lips – Teasing trickery thereafter, as her beauty abruptly slips. Vainly seeking redemption, now lost within a cruel night – insecurely pursuing an answer, deeply buried within delight. Exposing uncertain secrets, once submerged within a tide – projecting strength and purity, her weakness she tries to hide. Vanity consumes her visions, devouring her foolish dreams – succumbing to the realization, life is not all what it seems. What a silly, naïve child she is, believing there’s good in all you see…. What an embarrassment to her vanity, that silly, naïve child inside of me.

Thoughtful write, enlightening introspection. Seeing these things in ourselves is surely the first step in putting them behind us. Well done! Joe
