A False Bravado
Confident and self-assured
This is the image she portrayed
But who was she really?
She did not know
Confident and graceful
This was not her
But she daren't show them
How weak she really was
Puffy-faced and red eyes
Just allergies she says
But little did they realise
That the white porcelain void
That lay beyond the bathroom door
Meant so much more
Could they see, she wondered
Beyond this false bravado
She hoped not
She was not ready for such exposure
