Why is the true beauty of nature hidden so?

Masked, bandaged, painted over, flaws erased.

Attempting to create a perfect being that shimmers, glows

Cover Girl covers up, that allure is replaced

Don't want to see cosmetics that litter your face

What lies underneath is what is true

What overlays is a flawed flawless lie

From the slathered sludge on your lips

to the mud in your eyes

All it is and ever was was nature's disguise.
