Embellished being

This heart seems as callous as a guitarist's fingertips, 
slowly hardening with time.
Time that passes like honey in an hourglass.
This soul is like a hollow diamond casing, 
imprisoning the building tears and emotions 
that would suggest I posses a functioning heart.
My eyes are as depthless as a mirror, 
as dull as charcoal and as near sighted as a devious promise.
Unable to see what I will to ignore, 
I see the world through slitted eyes, 
nearly convincing myself that fear and shame do not exist...
Forgetting the scars that decorate my psyche.
