Creating an Illusion

By acidcrys

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

stop. and take a spin in the chair. lay back. close your eyes. and breathe.Turn the radio up loud, playing a love song..no, nothings wrong.Slip on my favorite long silky dress..no, my life's not a mess.Shadow on each eye..no, I didn't cry.Blush for each cheekno, I'm not weak.Color added to my lipsno, your words don't hurt like whips.Put on some shoes that shineyes, I am just fine.Dim down the lightyes, everything's alright.Close your eyes.Start to dance. Sing. Forgetting everything.no, I'm not thinking about death.no, I'm not shaking.no, my mascara isn't smearing with tears.no, that's not me breathing shallow.no, I'm not sad.I'm just dancing. alone. in the shadows.when i used to get sad.. or lonely whatever emotion not quite so enjoyable.. Id go and dress up.. putting on makeup carefully.. putting on my best and favorite dress.. and I would dance alone just trying to forget my feelings..hm.
