Pressure to be Pretty

Pressure to be pretty in the unearthly hours of the morning Eyes pulled down by bags, bloated and yawning Eyeliner and lipgloss and concealer thick and fast Covering the callouses, praying it'll last looking good and smelling good and in the peak of health Its all an uphill struggle to better your fine self Judged by a jury of unexperienced youths Panicing at lunchtime, retouching in the loos. Hair and eyes and lips and cheeks and clothing and skin Bottle after bottle, empty in the bin Scraping and slathering, plucking and plastering. The never ending problem, thats actually, within.
