She stands tall in front of the mirror then gently brushes the hair out her face as she whispers to herself "show time".
As she parts on foundation to give her skin the glow it lost when she lost hope, she takes a deep breath and prepares to be strong for another day.
She applies eye shadow on to the eye lids that fought to hold back tears all night,
Traces her eyes with the eye liner to throw off any sing that they've ever cried. She slides on lip gloss to dress up her hidden frown
oh what a beautiful cover girl she is...
covering up her pain from the world
in this process of covering up she fails to see
that she sabotages the chance of anyone from truly knowing all that she is
only the strong will survive they say
so there is no time to have a moment of weakness
no time to be human
no time to wash off the mask and simply be me
