of gazillion masks

Canvass

She puts her angry foundation on
But she's still lonely.
Evens out her eyebrow with her cranky eyebrow pencil
Still, she's lonely.
Growling eyeliner, carefully lined up her eyes
Still, she's lonely.
Patted suspicious concealer on the parts she wants to hide
Still, she's lonely.
Colored her lips with screaming cherry red lipstick
Still she's lonely.
Sprinkled mad bronzer on her cheeks
Makes her even more lonely.
Because no make up, concealers or masks
Can hide the fact
that she's lonely.
As lonely is to be happy.
