You make my red lipstick smudged from all your kisses...

{E.I}
Part 1

Knowing how to paint is key, so they say,
When to brush and stroke, or erase it away.
But some painters out there just cannot paint,
They keep adding and adding; makes me faint!
Without knowledge or a care for the rest,
These women slather on makeup with zest!
Some demonic possession is at work;
Like some creature in the dark on the lurk,
Waiting for a victim who they can jump,
To ****** and caress and um, ****…
But enough of these victims, these lost men,
It is these creatures of “virtue,” these women!
Who capture the eye of peers with disdain,
Who then suffer in agony and pain!
Let us look at this process at it’s core;
But not to the point where it is a bore!
How the blank canvas of a womans face,
Is slowly and precisely won through race,
Of multiple brushes dabbing at paint,
Trying to turn a sinner to a saint!
The fine brush used to paint plump lips bright red,
And pale powders of primer of the dead.
To seize the image of porcelain death,
To mimic the perfection of Queen Beth.
The slight graze of the check with some faint pink,
And the strong tracing of the blackest ink!
On the lids and the lash of the blind eye,
Who fails to see that their face is a lie.
But for me that is surely not the case,
For in the mirror that is not my face!

You can't cry about it.
Not now, not ever.
Your tears will be black from mascara,
Eyeliner smudges smeared across your face.
Waterfall stains like a stream erodes the river bank.
You must 'man up'.

Well who said so?
It's painful, you know,
Standing on Lego.
It hurts.

A jaded cackle escapes my lips
as you nodded "puppet head" in my direction.
With a quizzical brown you questioned
the paint upon my face, and the purpose of it.

A tiredness overwhelmed my body
suddenly fatigued by the plight
of continually having to explain oneself
and armor ones choice from a misunderstanding world.

Compare me to a puppet doll if you wish,
the opinions you will draw of me based upon my face
fathom me little.

I paint my face for me, and only me
spending much time fussing over which shade of berry
suits my mood and attitude of how to tackle this dreary world today.

Humm......i can feel,
it's all coming back to me.

the long distant echo is now sounding so near,
like a sweet sounding whisper.

my iris is more relax now, an evidence of closer view.

reverberation of its movement disturbs my hearing.

silently perched birds are looking nervous,
and are negotiating flight.

what a sure sign of it all coming back to me.
(wining back my love, my life, my happiness)

girl in the bathroom paints on her face
covering the spots on her skin
hoping to be like the others
cover it for the mornings
but reminded by the night time
knowingly she changes her looks
unknowingly she changes herself
shimmering colors reflect the lights
perfectly pinched pink cheeks
but her mascara-full lashes smear
and the wings of her eyeliner droop
she knows she'll never be like them
how could she love herself
when everything she sees in the mirror
are the things she hates most
cries as she stares at her reflection
she'll never be like the other girls
with genuine beauty and poise
but the other girls aren't authentic
they paint on their faces
to hide the real girl underneath

Put on some lipstick
So you look like
You are smiling
And no ones sees
The sadness

Put on some mascara
So you look like
Your eyes are twinkling
With joy
And no one sees
The deadness in you

Put on some foundation
So you look like
Your skin is shining
And not
The grey of exhaustion

And finally,
Put a slice on your arm
To repay
Future mistakes
And to remember
You are real

A smudge
appears in the corner
of the eye,
of the view,
of sight.
Wipe away
the tear-less dripping drop.
Amethyst coated
fingers nervously working
to achieve perfection,
hoping that no one payed attention
to the flaw,
the flaw that is one among many,
the flawed that is one among many.

Maybe her make-up is smudged,
maybe she sees herself as one.
A sad piece that came out of a good mood.
I'm just not going to question it.
Normally don't even wear make-up.

Beauty is not in the face; Beauty is found in the heart

Don't let them see what lies in the depths of your bottomless orbs, conceal it behind contact lenses and a thousand coats of mascara. Dab concealer on to cover up those blemishes – cower behind foundation because you can't let them spot those flaws. Mask the tremble in your voice with raucous laughter and disguise the shadows which throttle you constantly with saccharine expressions and pretty, brightly-coloured smiles. Hide behind your layer of lies which hugs you so tight you can't breathe. Is that imperfect perfection I smell in the air? Or is that your fabric freshener? They're the same, anyway.
