i wear a full face of makeup
i have clean, styled hair
i have a co-ordinated and accessorised outfit
i study, i work and i socialise
if you hand me a makeup wipe,
i have sunken eyes and angry spots
if you see me in the morning,
i have greasy hair with broken ends
if you take off my clothes,
i have bones that stick out and skin painted with white stripes
if you saw me alone,
i have wet lashes, a dark mind and a bruised heart
but you'd never know that
because the pretty put-together girl is a painting, not a ghost
