Hidden Things
"Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic." The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde. Tell me a story... poetry or prose.
Exquisite
Exquisite you say?
That I am, only eat one time a day. I am constantly concerned with how I look, I'm straight out of a fairytale book. My hair done, all the time. I've trained my face to smile. No matter what I look content, happy, sad, good.
I am exquisite...but is that good?
I am exquisite...but at what cost?
I am exquisite...But I am dying.
I am starving.
I am sick.
I am exquisite but my life will be short.
I am exquisite but I am unhappy.
I cannot be anything but exquisite...I am addicted to the reactions I receive.
I am Exquisite.
But I wish I wasn't.
