Decaying dreams lay across the threshold of reality
Vitality diminishes with the fall of each dehydrated petal
Fantasies fall victim to the starvation of imagination
Life goals implode beneath society's judgmental pressures
Symbolic gestures of transparent promises become evident
Delicate silken threads of a quilted soul slowly unravel
Passion's flame doused by rain-filled clouds of hopelessness
Skin deep beauty births a concaved perception of perfection
Dismantling actual truths and rebuilding idealistic illusions
Consumed paparazzi inflame idolization, corroding the psyche
Falsified ads scribbled in the subconscious with permanent ink
Vision impaired by the momentary makeup of Hollywood glamour
Starstruck obsessions spawn self destructive diseases;
and feelings of worthlessness quickly become the first
place prize in a race for non-existing utter perfection
