Make-up is Fake (Unedited First Draft).

Make-up is fake,

I’m real,

Make-up says my face is easier to take,

But I’m real.

Why should I hide

A blemish or a scar,

Have they harmed me, so far?

Make-up is fake,

I’m real.

I’ve got a spot, I may wish wasn’t there,

But it’s not really me,

It’s society that cares!

 Make-up is fake,

But I’m real.

You say it gives confidence,

When you look good,

But who told you that you should?

Make-up is fake,

You’re real.

Why does it matter,

 That you haven’t got perfect skin,

Because confidence, you know,

It comes from within.

Make-up is fake,

But you’re real.

Yes, I have pride in my appearance, too,

I’m tidy and clean,

But I am me,

And I don’t need to preen.

Make-up is fake,

 I’m real.

Be yourself,

Your lipstick, is not what they’ll remember,

Hold your head up,

Don’t hide,

And never surrender,

Because

Make-up is fake,

But you’re real.
