The shoes that keep my heels lifted off the ground

the red lipstick and the eyeshadow 

dancing across that stage

a big smile

all of it

...no

tears slip down cheeks

turning skin raw rubbing away the makeup

screams building up throat

arms wrapping around knees

them pulled into a chest

all of it

...wrong

look in the mirror

a mess of the human form

trembling

a wavering sense of anxiety

a body that always fights with the mind

and no one understands that

all of it

the heels

the smile

the dress

and the word girl

it's hell in a mind that doesn't agree
