Make up

I hide behind my eyeshadow like a dark curtain
I wear my eyeliner to shield my shame
I put on my blush to appear normal
I will apply my concealer to hide my true pain
I make sure my mascara is waterproof so it won't run
I will hide my trembling lips with gloss
I try to paint a perfect picture but when I look in the mirror I still can't hide
I put on my make up to hide the sadness no one else can see
So I can be a cog in the machine

Author's Note

Sorry if it flows poorly it just kind of was an idea in my head

Where it has little flow toward the last three lines, it makes up in meaning. I think it is a beautiful poem that fits many young women throughout the world. I like it a lot.
