Similar but different

You've heard of Foucault's Pendulum
Showing earth's rotation
I think I'm Foucault's yoyo
Showing sarcasm and emotion

Back to the future

Hidden smile
Memory clouded
By detritus of years

A frozen moment -
Image - pinsharp, clears

Then dims, fades, stumbles
Thought process fumbles

The fogcloud reappears

Beauty doctrine

Years of diet tips and makeup ads
Undone in a single man's phrase:
"You're gorgeous"

Insecurity

Mockery, derision, insult
Your skin is paper thin
Knife-words cut you,
Scar you
Don't let the bullies win.

Trust

Trust is a difficult commodity
They tend not to sell it in shops
Once broken it is hard to repair it
Irreplaceable, once lost
