Here's another one from me!

A pretty dress
Hair, make-up, high heels
She walks with confidence and purpose
Her hips swaying suggestively
As long, untamed curls flow behind her
Strangers stop and stare
She knows they like what they see
Because what they see is a mask
A trick to hide the truth
She alone knows the ugly reality
Revealed behind locked doors
But she closes her eyes to it
Can't bear to look
But if she won't
Who will
Who will want to see

Because she thinks she's ugly, she's ashamed...
