Mom decided

it was time for me to learn about make up

since girls

wear it all the time at school


She put 

lipstick on my lips

and she

did my hair up real nice


I felt

fake and not like myself

but I

felt beautiful


I decided

to go to church like that

The kids

pointed at me and snickered, "She's faking"


A little 

girl came up to me

"You look

Like a princess from a fairytale"


I smiled

and picked her up

"You are

a princess from a fairy tale though"


"Thank you

Your royal Highness" 

She smiled

and bounced out of my arms to go play


I may

not be a pure princess at heart

But mom

was right about my beauty
