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 WANTΒ Β 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.
someday.
and hey, you made it this far, smile! :)
