Disguised
The long golden hair
Cut short
Cropped to her ears
Now gray
Ashen and weaved
Hinting the young girl is still there
Her body
Once long and lean
Covered with bumps and bulges
Proportions distorted
Sharpè skin sagging
Big bright eyes
Hidden underneath the folds
Darkened with experience
Spidery lines
Emerging from the corners
Secretly unhappy by this mask
Her voice high and off key
Indicating
The child locked inside
Frantic angry cries
Nails scrapping from the walls of her soul
Tearing fiercely to get out
“Look at me!!!”
Scream so faint and distance
Her heart only
Blessed with the ears to hear the pain
Disguises always fool
Allusions of reality
Consuming, eating, and rotting away youth
Hidden beneath the mask
A girl

I hope I won't age as this woman has ! =) Such a lovely poem,such a heartwrenching story.Your imagery clearly made it imaginable for all to see this sorrowful woman just crying to go back to the way she once was.You can't help but feel the pain eating her away.
