Golden
Victim of circumstances
The past, she glances
A mirror of nightmares she can't take
The edges are unstable
Standing on a table, mangled
A bladed cycle never claimed
Her feral heart breaks
Her soul lays in a ash tray
God has no shame
She reconciles
A chance for denial
Her fire is fame
Wiping her vain tears,
announcing her fears with a smile
The past, she glances
A mirror of nightmares she can't take
The edges are unstable
Standing on a table, mangled
A bladed cycle never claimed
Her feral heart breaks
Her soul lays in a ash tray
God has no shame
She reconciles
A chance for denial
Her fire is fame
Wiping her vain tears,
announcing her fears with a smile

The past is passed... good to see you confront your fears. Writing is an excellent way to help yourself to do just that!

Life is exactly how you describe it. We are all victims of circumstances. We all search for a chance for denial. But we can't deny the reality of pain. Beautiful spill.

Yup. We can choose to let it destroy us or to finally acknowledge it and break away from it. Thank you!

I like the contrast between the vulnerability (her fears) and strength (her fire), blending together, beautiful and haunting at the same time.
Beautiful write Kara.
