REVEALED

She makes herself seem so strong
But all those walls
All those masks
Are already cracking
The plaster falling
To reveal the truth
The anguished features

The porcelain that covered
All the ugliness
Is crumbling, disintegrating
Falling apart, granulating
Leaving only dust
To be scattered in the winds

The pillars that kept things up,
The chains that held things in place,
The foundation disappeared
The unity that was supposed to be there
Never was
And that fact pierced the plasticity

Now there is nothing
Not even a mask
To keep the hideous hidden
To comfort those
Who do not wish to see

Now there is nothing
Save bald, naked truth
