Many many creams
Powders of every kind
Paint and plaster on your face
Wanting your outward fine

Many, many shades
Of Purple blue and green
Paint and plaster on your face
Hoping to make you keen

Many, many brushes
Some short, some fat, some thin
You paint and plaster on your face
Covering beauty within.

By no stretch of the imagination am ai saying make up is bad. I mean... ladies if the barn needs painting, paint it. sometimes we can get so consumed with our outward we end up hiding and covering up the real beauty.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
