With this brush in my hand
I paint new visions
New possibilities
New forms of escape.
It can not be denied
That I am an artist.
It's a tool
Not a weapon
A medium in which I have control
Complete autonomy
If only for the day.
It's not an advertisement.
No part of me is for sale
Now or ever.
I'm not being dishonest
By choosing how I present myself
Nor is it about you.
This reflection is artwork
Any interpretation is all your own.
It's all a product of my own liberty
And it runs much deeper
Than you might want to admit.
Within these simple brushstrokes, I run free
An untamed beast
With brightly-painted claws.
I am not caged
By the stripes that I create.

I feel there's a lot of stigma around makeup. Kind of silly, considering it's very much so an art form...
