Hidden No More
Location
The makeup I wear
Hides the flaws on the outside.
I figure the less I look like me,
The less I have to hide.
So I add wings to my eyes,
Like a bird in midflight
And red to my lips,
Like an apple in daylight.
The more makeup I wear
The less flaws you will find.
Yet as I look closer,
I see further behind.
I look into my eyes
As I apply eyeliner just so.
And I see parts of me,
That are so beautiful.
There is a twinkle in my eye
For all to see,
That shines brighter
Then all the makeup around me.
With the sudden change of thought
I am amazed.
For with that thought
I was no longer hazed.
I was bright
and I was clean,
For the thought of my eyes
Made me beam.
I realized that I no longer needed
All of the makeup on my face.
With remover in hand,
I started the race.
I was no longer a bird,
Or an apple in a tree,
But I shone like the sun
Becuase I was finally me.
I found no more flaws to fix,
Because I was flawless
Inch by inch.
Now if only I could clean up my makeup mess.
