Makeup

Paper a smile on that pallet

with rouge, pastel apples

Shadow your lids, to stand out

purple, black, and blue

thickly line the edges, wing it

white like an angle's halo, on the corners

Brighten the gloom, on the surface

who cares what's on the inside,

darken the brows, they line the face

appear bold, sure, like you're not insecure.

Curl and brush, with sticky black goo

feels heavy, heavy heart

spriz spriz, one last look

reflection check, good enough to step outside

pray no water ruins the day
