Sometimes, when the face in the mirror isn't who I want it to be and those thoughts, those ******* disgusting worms crawling out of my brain, to simply drive me insane I think it's subconscious, I never quite think it, before the thought is reaching my hand A little mascara brush through my hair (I want to feel pretty again) A dusting of powder touch up my chapstick (this face THIS FACE ISN'T RIGHT THIS ISN'T THE PERSON I WANT  TO BE-) - It's ok to be. - Switch up the perspective: I Will fix my issues, one brush at a time A swipe of lipstick layer eyeshadow Please don't clump, mascara Add some concealer (I NEED TO FIX THE VOICES IN MY HEAD) Some brow gel Some eyeliner. Top it off With a [[I hear voices say, voices far away "say cheese!" click]] I- I'll be O.K.

The Perspective (alt. title "Makeup tutorial")
Sometimes, when the face in the mirror isn't who I want it to be and those thoughts, those ******* disgusting worms crawling out of my brain, to simply drive me insane I think it's subconscious, I never quite think it, before the thought is reaching my hand A little mascara brush through my hair (I want to feel pretty again) A dusting of powder touch up my chapstick (this face THIS FACE ISN'T RIGHT THIS ISN'T THE PERSON I WANT  TO BE-) - It's ok to be. - Switch up the perspective: I Will fix my issues, one brush at a time A swipe of lipstick layer eyeshadow Please don't clump, mascara Add some concealer (I NEED TO FIX THE VOICES IN MY HEAD) Some brow gel Some eyeliner.
