Undeliverable

A face is just a face after all
meant to cover up
Something deeper
So what do we do?
We make that face damn pretty
Apply the blush, rouge, lipgloss
Eyeliner, perfume, nail polish
Ensure the colors match
The hair feathered
the brows plucked
the waist slim, arms hard
What else is there after this
anyways?
Surely nothing as important
I mean, how could it be?
You can't even see it!
But I dare you to do this
Stand in the bathroom
Stare at that thing you call
yourself
in the mirror
Now, switch off the light
What do you feel?
Strip away the toned features
That foundation that conceals
That blush that reveals
Those eyes that stand out
That polish that shouts
The brows that convey
The darkness dismays
Who are you now?
Nothing to hide behind ha!
But there is still something
isn't there?
Yes, yes there is.
And you'd better deal with that
my friend
you had better deal with that.
