Beneath the veil of frailty
I remain day after day,
trying to prove
that I am
more than
just a pretty face
and a delicate waist.

If only I stepped into the sun
every once in a while
without anyone
looking at me,
I know that the sun
will burn through the veil
and course through my veins,
just like it was meant to be.
