Pretty
Every day I put on Pretty
I get up and slide on concealing black
Every day I go to the bathroom and put on Pretty
I don’t look in the mirror, I know how to wake Pretty up by now
I smear pretty on my cheeks, eyes and lips
Then I look in the mirror and Pretty is there
Pretty is well rested and happy so Pretty is ready to go
Pretty talks and smiles with all of the people then Pretty leaves
Pretty goes to the bathroom and looks in the mirror
Pretty looks a little tired and give one final smile before putting Me on
Pretty is smeared off of Me and goes to bed
I don’t look in the mirror, I just slip of the black
Every day Pretty takes off Me
Every day Pretty kills me.
