Strawberry ice cream, Auroras.

She’s paper-cut, but far from hurt.

She lives a masquerade party, in her head.

So full of life, yet so far from reality.

Vivacious and expressive. Lively and lovely.

So caught up in herself.

Spunky, spontaneous, a live wire.

Only she knows how many times she rehearses what she says.

Perfection uncaptured, unreal, untrue.

Like neon, so digitalized.

Her paper heart, so far from feeling.
