[bodytext] => I’m a porcelain girl painted pretty dressed in lace created to please to be forever thankful to my benefactors and when I stray and fall and break they will gather up my pieces and put me back together with extensive care I am constantly beaten with the invisible, invincible leather belt of conscience my own guilt into submission into conformance into perfection I’m painted pretty and I smile under the burden of my guilt’s bruises hidden under all the lace I was created to please and that I do thankfully I seldom stray and then the heavy strap of my own conscience reprimands me. treatening to shatter all I am.
