Self Portrait (Nothing)

Finely made, like porcelain
The sacred silence keeps the sleeping, sleeping
Disfigured, prettier than any doll
They had a plan, but those go wrong
A lie escapes beauty, only the world gasps
But like a clap - it dies out and fades away
Nerve endings not sharp enough, vision askew like a kaleidoscope
No tool nor acrobat could fix something so bent out of shape
It takes no training, no skill at all
To break the wall
The finest, after all
Something so great, so grand
You'd be a fool to not think it'd fall
What we saw as beautiful, was somewhat of a scrub
That's what they said in the headlines
The internal thoughts in her head, shinning from the wrist
We never knew where the rest of her soul went

The title to me is ironic..as yes indeed your words could very well be a painting.
Love the imagery and "texture".
Sharp and forthright yet,with vulnerability between the lines.
Thank you for sharing...its excellent!
Blessings
