[Rough, exposed. An inelegant disposition,
sitting coarsely upon eroded hurt.
Glinting dully under exposure,
still covered in the dirt of the earth.
Complete emptiness,
all dressed up in the nothingness
that comes when one is all but
destroyed, begging for a chance to make it.]
A switch of fate,
a chance to make the most of it,
to twist the words of a fellow man-
To make it to the promised land.
-All dressed up with no where to go,
beautifully sculpted, perfectly proportioned
displayed for the masses,
the most perfect escape.
Elegant. Gorgeous.
A love for the hot air that it is.
Perhaps the devil made it,
but it was still heaven sent.-
Author notes
Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.
[truth]
-lies-
The middle is a stanza on how one goes from pleading with the truth, to using lies to get out.

A switch of fate,
a chance to make the most of it,
