While all the other girls are putting on their makeup
I am putting on my face.
For them, its to accentuate their already existing beauty,
For me, its to cover up the darkness.
I am my makeup.
Every word I say
Every action taken.
It's all been planned out for whatever eyes may peer,
and whatever ears to hear.
Sometimes, I like to wonder what it would be like to be me.
To see how people would react to my true self,
Would they turn and hug me, or run away.
I'm betting they'd just run.
So I will always be the shadow, hiding behind a face.
