Observation

I am a horrible person, and let me tell you why.

You are saddened by the weight of life,
That bears down on your back.
Smiling through crippled, bitter eyes,
Held together by lipstick and rouge-
A true CoverGirl.
Perfume that masks
That hazy odor of Marlboro
On your breath
Clothes
Skin
Trapped between
The child you have been
And the woman that is your future
Rusted and worn
From the years
And the change
The hurting

I had a bit of a revelation in Philosophy of Mind class; an upper level college course.

After being in school for ages, I've noticed something. Well, I've noticed it since about my senior year in high school. After you learn something, you suddenly see it everywhere. Allow me to explain.
