It vexes me
How everytime I wear makeup
They ask in a sing-song voice who I'm trying to impress
*as if I can't just wear it for myself

Flawed

Caked,
Contoured,
Painted,
Photoshopped--

Perfection is
What Nature alone can never realize.

Eyes

My eyes hurt
Maybe it's from staring at the computer
for so long
Maybe it's bad for my eyes

My eyes hurt
Maybe it's because I'm tired and didn't get
enough sleep
Maybe it's bad for my eyes

My eyes hurt
Maybe it's from the mascara I just started wearing
to get attention
Maybe it's bad for my eyes

My eyes hurt
Maybe it's from the hard music I listen to
to make sense of stuff
Maybe it's bad for my eyes

My eyes hurt
Maybe it's because I feel like crying but I'm
keeping it in
Maybe it's bad for my eyes.

black eyeliner

a thick layer down,
and a thick layer up,
to look scary and intimidating
it's the goal,
but the magic
isn't working when
you're around,
because you see past
my flaws and
straight to my heart.

no clouds

there are
no clouds
in the blue sky,
yet it's still flawed.

there is
make up on
your beautiful face,
yet you're still *flawed.
