Her beauty isn't measured by some European standard of what beauty should be but by her confidence and the fact that she is loving the skin she's in. To me, that alone is beautiful.

Pennies on the Pound

CATEGORY

life

Views: 281

Memories packed away in suitcases stored
in dark closets collecting dust

Love refused as old clothes unfit for use
tattered and scattered about her heart
like tumbleweeds on a prairie 
desiccated under the sun

Will she ever love again? 
She doubts it 

For the pain of heartbreak 
has taken its toll 
and left her shameless

Now she finds solace 
in the empty faces 
of the myriad men and women 
who fancies her punani 
for pennies on the pound
 
An endless parade of debauchery and 
degradation in which she
if only for a moment
pretends to be loved
 
It is in this state of 
exhilarated emotions
that she feels totally alive
totally free to be herself 
to breathe
to love
and be loved 

If only for that moment
it feels real and tangible

In this she finds comfort
with this 

She finds peace
