Cool
That was the image she portrayed.
A living cliché.
She sought out every behaviour
To enhance the image, she had of herself.
Watched porn to learn to be a lover,
Was devoted to fashion
Copied all and everyone she thought to her advantage.
Made sure she was seen at all the ‘right’ places
Even with the ‘right’ people,
Practised saying the ‘right’ things.
It was all about pretence
For under it lay the scared little girl
With so many secrets
Best hidden for then she felt safe.
With so much time spent on being ‘right.’
It puzzled her how so often
She went home alone,
Her ‘friends’ turning their backs,
Leaving her in her ‘coolness’.

Excellent!
Thanks you so much, glad you think so.
Sad in a way Michael, someone misunderstood who people don’t want to get to know better. Or at least that’s how I’ve interpreted it.
A sad picture!
Methinks she’d have done better to be true to herself. So perhaps she’d still be shunned, but better the truth and the lies.
Totally.
so sad 😦
Thanks Nima for stopping by.
You are welcome and am glad I did 😀
Such a sad existence…well portrayed
Thanks so much Melanie.
