Fake up.

if I wear dark makeup,

I'm a goth,

if I wear fakeup,

I'm the opposite,

to be yourself is real,

to be what others want is fake,

so ill paint myself,

in a new way,

I be myself,

it's all wrong,

black nails,

messy hair,

your mouth is a frown,

I wear my fakeup,

pinks and blues,

but where is myself,

I haven't left any clues,

you call me names,

I wear my fakeup,

you say I'm chić,

holding on to me,

gripping the edges,

of my personality,

hearing words,

from people who say they understand,

just reminds me,

of who I really am,

I am me,
