I am a bottle of perfume,
half way empty but still in good use.
You always use me; to cover up your foul odor,
and to mask your rotting color.
You seek me at the start of your day,
but left forgotten when everything's in great dismay.
You wore me with your head held high,
but I felt too damn low; i sigh.
