I like this, Maple. Another dark one, but who am I to complain about that? lol

Take care

So very powerful

Andrea, wow, just wow. As always your writes blow me away. I love how you used the catwalk to express the pain and your sorrow-well done-

Judged, always on trial, never able to "let your guard down," living in an armed camp. Though you pose the poem in the trappings of a model, this guise is irony itself, for instead of admiration, your protagonist must endure scathing disregard for her own humanity.
Excellent ending.

A stunning piece Maple Tree, with a killer punchline at the end. Just wasn't expecting that!!
Superb writing yet again.

Hi Andrea
