Painted Faces

 

Painted is her majesty,
Her beauty is what she hides,
She is scared of the world,
And in turn they're scared of her lies,
That is what she holds dear,
And it is this which in turn makes them fear,
Rejection is her only defense,
Yet it is also they're most piercing weapon,
Inside she holds radiance,
Show the world your heart, Sandra,
I don't see how they could reject you then,
But keep your individuality,
You don't have to be one of them,
Complacency is not a trait to value,
Please show us your heart,
Or this paint will poison your skin,
Please don't die like that, Sandra,
Ugly and alone,
Your heart is all you have to give us,
We will build it up from stone,
Beauty and friendship will be yours to behold,
You won't have to be charming,
You don't have to be bold,
You're so hidden away, Sandra,
Its like you have your own town,
Fall into my arms, Sandra,
I won't let you drown.

Ahh, the soulful pleading for the soul...

Good flow, evoking several emotions with its touching words, melancholy for one...
Poignant and heartfelt...Good write!
