Check Behind the Curtains

Don't judge her by her looks,

they're just a petty facade.

A curtain to hide behind, a rug to lurk under.

Somewhere beneath those beautiful eyes

lies something left to wonder.

 

Sure she's graceful, yes she's clean,

but what if everything isn't always as it seems?

The world has secrets she does to,

Something painful she'll never show to you.

 

She'll walk and talk, and make you believe.

She's just fine, you must be seeing things.

Her life is all very well, she drives a nice new car.

Her house is paid for and lovely too,

and on the surface if you just glance you'll see what she wants you to.

 

But don't be fooled by this pretty scene,

it's just an act, superficial make believe.

Excellent work!
I loved this piece!! I've been thinking about things like this an awful lot today.
My favorite line was:
"But don't be fooled by this pretty scene,

Pure brilliance.
