#makeup poems on Hello Poetry

Zack Ripley Apr 2019

Just because it's called makeup
doesn't mean it has to make up who you are.
Just because someone is bullying you
doesn't mean they're not being bullied too.
Just because someone tells you you're stupid or ugly
doesn't mean it's true.
Now, it's true that just because you read something
it doesn't make it true.
But it's important to know that just because you're feeling blue,
it doesn't mean it's the end of happiness for you

Cover me

"What do you look like without your makeup?"

Like a grown child.

Why?

What do you look like without your mask?

Sometimes it’s ok to hide. Cover me.

Fake doll face

Contoured cheeks
Sculptured resurfaced shapes
Concealed to show everything
Pinched nose thin
Caterpillar lash tops flying away
Plump overdrawn lips
Shimmered cheeks
Highbrows your eyebrows
No pores or face fuzz allowed!
Packed on fake skin layers
Glass reflections
Perfect cat eyeliner
Cats don’t wear eyeliner!
Who are you fake doll face?
Like stormtroopers
You look all the same
I used to know you
I think a version I saw once
But your craft makes you sell
Forces you to be someone else
You look so sad like a pretty
Doll with a fake smile

I love makeup just as much as the next crazy makeup collector. It’s just gone too far on social media. It’s hard to look at anymore so I just don’t.

Drag Queen

If I'm  the drag would you be

                                          my queen?

Yes I maybe a bit of a drama queen,

    but we know

who sits on the throne..

I took more time on my hair,
         than you did on your make up.

But you know that all my time is  yours.

I may be a drag,
but we know who hold the title of beauty.

    I'm just the ***** and your the lady,

              be my woman and ill always love you.

And I'll never drag you down,

                                           but lift you higher up.

Yes I wear makeup

I wear makeup,

For the eyes
That witnessed a sleepless night.

For the face
Turned blue from your venomous bite.

I'll remember each word you uttered.

Did you like her makeup better than mine?

She looks good without it too,
but she's like 25, so...

She doesn't work at Target anymore:
She goes thru jobs like hairdos.

Her kids are trying to find her a husband.
I caught myself making a 'why?' face
and I had to auto correct it
because I was actually talking to her.

She said the only men her age who want marriage
really only want a cook or caregiver.

Now we know why you're single.

आफ्नु घर सफा राख्न
लक्ष्मी पूजाको बार पात्रोमा
घेरा लगाउनेहरु

टोल सफा देख्न
फेरी सि जिन पिंग कुर्नेहरुनै

आज मसंग
सर सफाईको कुरा गर्दैछन् ।

अनी
यी दुई कान मेरा
के का लागी ?

शैली : अवलोकन
विषय: जो बोल्छ उही छुच्चो
