Nefertiti
Girls.
Our jewelry projects to the world
Who we want to be.
Admit it.
We all want to be
The beautiful girl
Or the heroine
-whoever saves the day.
But we can't.
So we cover our failure
With makeup
Or earrings
Necklaces
In an effort to be
What we can't find in ourselves.
Maybe if we looked inside
We would take off
All the heavy makeup
And only leave on
Layers to spruce things up.
And find in ourselves
That all we want to
Be is
