4 Years

I am the most powerful woman in the world, so it might surprise you that each night I sit in front of my vanity mirror crying.


As I tear my lashes away and wipe my palate clean with a rag, I catch my reflection and sob.  I'm often appalled at the make up stains in my hand.


I think back to the little girl I once was, and all the untouchable aspirations she had for me. Instead their is a Gin soaked, debutant worse than any Hollywood monster.


We work with what we're given, but I can't help feel violated and betrayed by myself, by men, by society, by my dreams.


I laugh and cry at the same time, wiping each ounce of dignity from my face, until I'm clean.


I hear him call from the other room and my stomach churns.


Do you think he'd appreciate me au natural?


I guess I'll never know.
