Your face maybe elegant
But you personality is rotten
You’re like the white elephant
That nobody had forgotten
You sit upon a throne
Your porcelain skin shining
Like a bleached white bone
Although your cloud has no silver lining
We can see your imperfection
We see your lips are tied
You told us your confession
And all but lied
And although you claim to be perfect
We can see through the cracks
At the unlawful tale you tried to pass

i absolutly love the tittle. it's kind of paradoxical once you read the poem, and that's a nice touch. great job.

I do like it and a lot of your imagery. The flow of it had a few kinks, but it just needs a bit of polish :)
