Concealed, Congealed, Revealed

It's right at the very end of her day,
A make up wipe to wash her sins away.
Layer after layer she doesn't pause,
As the make up wipe reveals all her flaws.
She wipes away at the layers of sin,
Unclogging pores and letting air in.
All that's hidden is revealed,
The natural her that peer pressure from a tender age has concealed.

Concealer

First goes on the primer To protect who she really is Second the concealer To hide a few blemishes Then we have foundation Its supposed to be the base Its supposed to be the start But it just...

Expectations

Expectations make me, To them I am a mould, A piece of dough to take and shape, To have and then to hold.

Tears Through Make-Up

Like most girls, I wear make-up.

Don't(s) And Do(s)

Hug a neighbor, Or start a fight. Go to bed early, Or stay up all night. Eat healthy, Or drink underaged. Live in peace, or get enraged. Do what you want, It could be good.

Caged

I remember this is how I felt as a teenager trying to fit in.... I feel confined, trapped and hating these god damn lies.

@iPuss ; haha 😄 same. I look like 🐶. But do we really? What actually conditions us to think that we look "crap" and then better with make up? Just something I was thinking whilst wiping away all the crap on my face!
