She had nothing to do but wait for the flash
The eye caught a moment locked in despair
She had lost the thought of vestal engagement
You could argue that her confidence was
By the arch of her feet
Then, she couldn’t face one single reflection
Without the creeping amalgamation
Of disjointed feelings regarding self image
You could argue that her sense of self
Was lost and thorn in a rage
A pain she kept growing, at large gone unheard of
Lived for validation, until she got left ‘lone
Left to her devices that she couldn’t keep quiet
Would you argue that her sense of worth
Was based on a fluke
