To look into the mirror, how painful this

Wandering frizzy hair and smudged lipstick

Exquisite torture for perfectionists

Who grimace at each flaw, each evil trick

At clumped mascara, shadows and freckles

Banes of a superficial existence

So the hounds of reality heckle

And, doubtless with great pleasure, watch us wince

We poke and pinch at ever-ruddy cheeks

Smear shadow on poor innocent eyelids

Our goals yet unfulfilled again we seek

To alter our appearance, to get rid

Through powder that dusts and perfumes that reek

Of imperfections that make us unique
Please please pleeeease comment and tell me what you think. :D Smiles,

Andy
