All Dolled Up


Every morning she comes down the stairs

all dolled up

With her eyeshadow and lipgloss

her blush and mascara

Her fancy shoes and painted nails

An air of elegance hangs there too

The only thing she doesn't wear

is a smile

Because 

hiding is tiring

She's fighting to be free

Free of this cage

that they call society
