Red Lipstick

by Moonbeamchild

The mirrior is my adversary. My eyes variance, what others don't see. To the word I'm adequate, crowning , spotless, and skilled Every morning I wake up, get ready and cover my lips in red majestic mac Red lipstick seems to illuminate confidence in the eyes of many, but to me it is merely a pigmented shield of secrets. Humorous isn't it? Every unmarred life, seeks to relive its pigments Fears, self-doubt, imperfection. Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall.. Who's the thinnest of them all... The sound of battle rumbles Conscious at wrists ends Bawling in me Fat, Fat, Fat, Yours tricks are foul, you tauntful mind Vision is blurred from reality, Oh mind how you love to frolic Your sheer joys leave me unpieced, The snickering of my mirror, Damages my frame. Sorrowing fades my red lipstick Pigments revealed, Vulnerable, Unworthy, Marred to the bone Quickly I learned that the mind is the enemy, filled with con Staring in my mirror and all I see is fat. Red lipstick always seems to fade by the end of the night.
