    Great work, almost two half on a whole, or a mirror image, a back-to-front reversal of what we see and what we do not see, what is hidden beneath a disquise, a mask of perfection, correcting imperfection. The truth is we are the seen and unseen in one visual entitiy, us, naked and under a spot light, scruitinised by the most crytical eye, that eye is our own, for most of us see ourselves as imperfect, when in truth perfection is just that - imperfect as nature intended.

    Love yourself first, so that others can too love you!

    Well done and sorry avout my endless ramblings!

    This is simply amazing. The topic you wrote about is very common in todays society.. as pressure is cast upon young women to look perfect and flawless, things like anorexia do become more common.. and make up is an every day thing that people use to cover up their true selves.. all in the hopes to get one step close to perfection.
    I loved how you changed it at the end, to yourself without all the fakeness. I think that the image you created there in the last stanza, is true beauty. Its a pity society doesnt look at natural beauty now days isnt it?
    Well done.. it was a great write indeed and has earned a place on my favourites list. Not that i really have a favourites list.. but in my head i do :)
    5/5
