I want to remove this paint in my face
To be simple and be myself
Uncomfortable in this gorgeous phase
True beauty, I want to see for yourself

I don't need any eye liner
Making my eyes dark and sad
It isn't good nor better
For me, I look like bad

I don't need a lipstick
Coloring my lips cherry red
It makes me sick, and i can't speak
For it is being said

I don't need a makeup, I am beautiful
People just don't see its true
They want me to put some more, plentiful
For they are used to

They make me look like a clown
If I wore makeup again
For me, they are putting me down
Like saying that I'm ugly for being me, now and then

As usual. I wrote this poem because of something that I have experienced. One time, I wore a make up in school for our report which needs to be acted or role played. Then, my classmates were surprised about my face when they saw me. They say that I'm beautiful. Of course, at first, I was happy. But then, I realized: So if I have makeup, I am pretty? But, what if I haven't? Is it that I'm ugly?

It was just sad for me. :(

I've felt the same way.

I've been told every time I wear makeup that I'm pretty.

I HATE wearing makeup. I hate the feeling of my face being covered by something.

So whe people tell me that I'm pretty with makeup on, does that mean I'm not pretty every other day?

Yup. So true. I tend to avoid makeup whenever possible. Even if I'm ugly, I'd prefer to be natural.

I know exactly what you mean :hug: For me, makeup helps, especially around the eyes. And I get compliments and it feels great, but every now and then... that little question: So am I ugly without it? I don't necessarily dwell on it, but yeah, it is sad :( This was really well written!
