"Put on some makeup."
Cover your tears
Cover up your demons
Cover up the scared child crying inside of you.
Cover up your twisted mind with laughter and bright eyes.
Cause life is full or rainbows.
A twisted maze of color
You don't need makeup.
You can always take off your face by wiping away your misery
With rusted blades
And happy pills
And a barrel loaded full of tears
You're an artist
You've trained well in your craft
Your palette is a tray
Of pastel smiles
Of neon laughs
And different expressions
Painted over the dreary tilt
Of everlasting sadness.
Not that anyone knows
No one knows your past
Because like a dancer
You've rehearsed many times
To look everyone in the eye
To raise your head
Widen your eyes
Fix your posture
And smile.
