Beautiful Masks


Easy breezy beautiful,

but they don't teach you to beYOUtiful,

they flaunt girls wearing lipstick made of fishscales and oil,

they put you to the test

to find which mask fits you best,

they teach you maybeline,

and not that you may believe that natural is always best,

acne? cover it.

Eye brows bushy? pluck it.

Curves in all the wrong places? nip and tuck it,

suck it up,

nobody is perfect,

but a few flaws are worth it,

you deserve it,

to feel as beautiful as those size 1 girls in magazines,

that girl you see yourself being in all of your dreams,

working those smile lines,

instead of wrinkle creams.
