A broken face
dropped too many times
pieces hurriedly placed together
spackled with the latest shadow
and the newest stick
distracting from the rough edges of worry
the dirty eyes
and the sharpness of too tight a smile
What's one more fall
one more lie being recycled
Pretty negates problems
in others' vision
-suspect-
-ignore-
and the only questions asked
will be along the lines of
'that shade of lipstick looks lovely on you
what's it called?'
