Bathed in Blue

Smiling.

On the outside I am happy,

joyous and excited.

Young.

On the outside I am a child,

yearning and carefree.

Beautiful.

On the outside I am bathed in blue,

rich and deep.

Perfect.

On the outside I am suitable,

the perfect bride.

Crying.

On the inside I am weak,

scared and lonely.

Old.

On the inside I am an old soul,

gray and lifeless.

Ugly,

On the inside I am harsh,

cruel and nasty.

Terrified.

On the inside I am alone,

no one knowing what I really want.
