the fall from grace.
the beauty queen whose skin grows spots. the enchantress who lost her magic. the star who doesn’t shine. the actress who can’t lie. the dancer who has lost everything she ever had before… every beautiful smile, every winning title, every gold medal, every 92. every stretch, turn, kick, throw, and breath; she’s lost it. gone. the leaps that cannot overpass this year’s hurdle, the costumes that do not fit you anymore. age. loss. mourning for your own self. who you were. the famous person you were. the winner. where has the charisma gone? why are you see through?
to have the heart but to drink it away; to grow so far, only to wilt so quickly… how it happens, i’ll always wonder. how one could give up something so special, i’ll never know.
