True Beauty
First,
 Second,
 Third layer of foundation
 First,
 Second,
 Third,
 Forth brush of mascara
 She buys all “healthy” make up
 So she can feel confident when she’s made up
 She heads down the stairs
 And everyone smiles
 She hasn’t felt this confident in a while.
 She feels that make up is her only face
 That with out it
 She has no place, in this immense world.
 Big blue eyes, 
 Long blonde hair,
 Yet she still feels 
 She’s in great despair.
 All her friends tell her
 What she’s already heard before
 “You’re are so beautiful” 
 “If that’s true, why can’t I walk out the door,
 With out any makeup on?”
 She doesn’t see 
 That natural beauty
 That her boyfriend always wants to veiw
 He tells her to take it all off
 He wants to see her face
 But she can’t do it,
 Even though she loves him too,
 So he shakes his head and walks away.
 But something tugs at her heart
 And she beings to cry
 And as her mascara runs down her face
 She decides to give it a try.
 Off comes the foundation
 Off comes the mascara
 Alas, that fake face is peeled back
 And he turns around to see
 That girl he’s in love with
 And all of her true beauty
