You use make up to conceal many things...

A hidden past you try and forget,

a different personality you've
never set...

A tearful face you're ashamed to show,
for you fear you'll get judged for who you are on the inside.

That painted smile is placed on your face,

deceiving others with it's lace of lies,

hopeful that no one will look through your eyes

and see that person suffering on the inside...


The author's comments:
I personally wrote this for the people who wear make up to hide who they are and what they actually feel. I have been in that position before, not wanting to reveal who I was because I was terrified to be judged. But I eventually learned that you can't hide forever, eventually someone out there will be able to look past the make up and see you for who you really are.
