makeup is a breakup 

and makeup is a lie

disconnecting who you really are

and portraying who you think

we want you to be 

makeup is faked up 

faces 

you’re hiding behind 

goo-covered lashes 

makeup covers up 

the wounds and gashes left by

society and acne

makeup causes a blackening

of your internal fire

a darkening that is alarming

you think it makes us pretty

but really it’s harming us 

you think you need it

because they charge 39.95 for a tube

of freaking plastic

it makes me so damn sick that  

you think you aren’t beautiful 

without something that costs you 

money

honey that is a lie 

the greatest lie ever told

if I wanted to get rich off makeup

I would convince you that you needed it

and i would engrain it into your brain

so that without makeup

you would never ever feel beautiful

again
