Just Lipstick

Just lipstick is more than just lipstick- it's the color of liberation. It's a piercing red that is boldly placed on lips once silenced by a piercing heart pain. A heart burn throbbing in a sea of acid.  Acid trickling down slowly on a naked face. A face unmarked. A virgin mary. Only to be burned beyond recognition, and no longer deemed beautiful by the eyes of her beholder.    A new reality emerges. A hydrangea blooms in a sea of heather flowers. The fog has lifted. Beauty is reborn. An evolution of sorts. So just lipstick becomes more than just lipstick- it's the color of liberation.
