success

she storms the gates

and burns up memory to ash

she harbors flaw

and takes refuge in gutted ideas

of grace

she is an illusive

scar

on the desire of many

she is fleeting

and isolating in turn

she is one beautiful cold

unpredictable bitch

that far too many want a piece of

she is a kid's sandal pretending

to be a stiletto

and a hallway that poses as

a warm inviting space

she is coveted and then damned

it was all do to success

or because of her

she is

just another flimsy identity

that the lowliest of egos

puts on

and wears around the world

for awhile

so to lap up the enjoyment of

others believing in such a flimsy

ruse themselves

such is

this shadowy shell game

ego paints on

believing the hype

that success is the gloves

that go with fame's shoes

when really

in reality they are but

little more than

ultra thin, cowardly cover ups

draped over a fearful

sense of nothingness inside

how so very ugly must that feel.......
