Acceptance

lips stained crimson.
bleach whitened smiles.
faces painted like canvases.
wrapped up in
the vanity of the
World.
looks, clothes, appearances
held at top priority
personality and character
lost in the shadows

piercing eyes shine through
faces with artificial features
beauty no longer genuine
pressure of perfection takes over

starving for acceptance.
focused on vanity.
losing sight of what’s real.
all for the admiration of perfect strangers.
