there she sits,
the beauty queen
herself.
she opens her bag,
and lays out her mask
of pure beauty.
first is the concealer,
to hide the shameful
bruises her boyfriend
left on her cheek and eye.
then the eye shadow
that makes her see
herself higher up
then everyone else.
next is the lipstick,
that gives her the
confidence to speak
what the popular ones "should"...
