Makeup

I wonder why girls run to try on makeup

To do what with it ?

To cover up their faces with gunk

To hide their scars and brusies

From the popular girl who wears it to cover up the acne and imperfections

To the girl who just wants to hide those scars and brusies from everyone else

To the girl who's friends tell her she'll be prettier if she wears it

To the girl who just wants to be beautiful

And then to the girl who's just confused

So someone tell me why we all reach to cover the mess this world has made of us

Because if it's for someone's approval that isn't a good enough reason
