Artificial

by Renee   Jun 13, 2005


Your so goddamn artificial
that make-up covers your truth.
but if it smeared,
which direction would you choose?

would you wipe the rest off,
to expose that beautiful face?
or would you quickly cover it up,
and continue being fake

I wish I could just peel it off...
My eyes try prying into you mind
you won't let me past that wall,
so I know theres something there to find.

When I saw you that day,
your artificial mask was still intact
but there was something horrible in your eyes,
and make-up couldn't hide that fact.

The tears ran down your cheeks...
the mascara soon followed.
and as the make-up was washed away,
the truth I found was hard to swollow.

    True beauty can be hard to discover. This poem is beyond excellent. I absolutely love it. A lot of people (esp girls in the more literal way) can relate to this. Thank you! Keep writing like this; it's perfect.

    I used to wear make up when I was your age. Never went anywhere without it and one day my Boyfriend/pal (lol) came over unexpected and told me I looked better without it. For what ever reason that hit me so hard and I haven't worn make up but once or twice since then. I did to my companys christmas party and I think on my birthday two years ago. People get so caught up in what they think is "beauty" and lose sight of the what's REALLY BEAUTIFUL and you show that. This was a very well done piece.....Nice write Coonay!!
