As I shimmy shimmered

the highlight on my cheek

to myself I started to speak

I might flirt, I might dance

try not as I might

this makeup is coming off tonight

Applying lipstick

never to stay

gloss and balm, more my forte

These lashes are short

spunky, yet thick

needing a hundred Maybelline

a fan true black and slick

Ready to bite into

my apple cheeks

take nothing more than

a tap of peach

The mirror likes me

and I my mirror

Windexing weekly

to see this face of glimmer

The girl pauses to view

no dark reflections

ready to go

with good intentions
