I sketch my face The unusual silhouette created by my hair Whispy pieces blowing in my face Resting on my chubby cheeks That do protect my lips graceful arch My noses flat tip I fill in the colour My skin red as I blush Mixed with my natural warm yellow tones That hide beneath the surface I wore no makeup No foundation or bronzer No concealer or highlighter No lip gloss or eyeshadow Bare skin looking back at me I paint an image of my face It does not look the same as the one I Invision I wonder if I'm a bad artist Or have never seen my true self before
