 I find there’s something a bit degrading about putting on makeup

The subtle message we send to ourselves that says

We’re not enough

More is needed


Something so sinister about dyeing our hair


Something so subtle 


The clothes we wear


The smiles we try on for size 

But they’re too big

Too small

Our faces have to pay

The price for it all


Sincerity

Is somewhere underneath 

Buried with our hopes and dreams

That we could be not loved

Not appreciated 


But just accepted 


For who we are
