i put on makeup to look pretty,
to look like someone im not,
i wake up early to do my hair,
wash my face,curl my lashes,
put on makeup.
just so i can get a few nice words,
i dont feel "pretty" in my own skin anymore.
i'd like to pretend someone im not.

but when i stand in the dim light of my bathroom..or the darkness of my room..
or when i stand in front the mirror..
i realize.

it's just lipstick on a pig.
