Shove your candy coated gun,
Down my sugar coated mouth
So my imperfections can melt away.
Your despondent light
Inflicts shadows on my dreams,
But your tragedy is my only art.
Glamour is my whore,
Anorexia is my queen,
And dysfunction is my secret.
Liquored up, and headed for disaster;
All colors intertwine,
All memories cut to fragments.
A mangled memoir of chaos,
Etched deep into my mind,
Turns my salty tears to confetti.
Glamour is my whore,
Anorexia is my queen,
And dysfunction is my secret.

wow this is differnt. amazing take on the prompts! I like the first stanza because its metaphors are unique and pulls the reader in expecting something bitter sweet, which in fact it is! Great write.

Very deep and well thought out

to find yourself living a life like

Well done sweetie and good luck to
