1930s girl

living in a 2000s world

you don't belong here

you belong deep under ground

far below the earth's surface

buried alive,

like your mother,

underneath a landslide

of beauty

.

your gift is a curse.

repeat,

your gift is a curse

beauty is pain

beauty is a curse.

your gift is a bloody bloody

curse

.

you don't deserve

second chances

you can't do anything right.

you're a screw up

filled with terrible jewels

.

it corrupts

the gemstones and metals

the gold and rubies

twists the mind

makes good seem bad

bad seem good

left or right

right or left?

.

are you alright?

no one asks

must be because of this

mask

.

innocence is your shield

your weapon is that terrible terrible

curse.
