In a Barbie World


Fask mask,

Whitening strips,

Self tanner.

Makeup. 

Concealer, powder, bronzer, blush.

Eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss.

Somethings off.

More powder, extra mascara.

Okay, better.

Late to school, again. 

 

School.

"I love your dress!" 

(I cannot stand her)

"Lets hangout this weekend!"

(We won't)

"You're my best friend!"

(Haven't spoken to her since middle school)

 

Friday night. 

"Omg lets take a picture together!"

(Great)

I've been tagged in a photo.

Oh god, what is this, I look horrible,

TAKE IT DOWN. 

She doesn't.

 

Home. 

Snapchat, twitter, instagram.

Repeat.

Wow I look bad.

Makeup remover, face wash.

In front of the mirror,

Alone,

No one to impress. 

Singing, dancing around.

Me.
