They only see my skin

How it sparkles

How it shines

What they don't see is

The blood, the sweat

The tears and the scars

The "ugly things" that make each beauty

The work on my end to make the best me

This they don't see

I'm just another idol on the market

The social world doesn't know the details of my manufacturing

As usual

They scan the tags on me and move on with their purchases

Again, a person snaps my barcode in a blink

In mundane routine giving away my outside for almost free

Sold!

I'll keep the change, thank you.
