Under the makeup

I look in the mirror
Tears fall from my eyes
Washing away the makeup
My only disguise

Scared of what’s hidden
Behind the paint
My eyes and lips
My skin so faint

Always walking around
With my head held high
Dose anyone know
I cry inside

I’ve cried for so long
Because of the way I look
Always hiding inside
Reading my books

To scared for people to see
What lies under it all
The makeup the smile
I’m so tempted to fall

I hate what I am
What I’ve become
I’m trying so hard
To undo what’s been done

I look at my friends admiring their beauty
Only ever wishing I could be
As beautiful as all the people
That forever surrounds me

But I’ll never change
Forever I will hide
My sad face
My empty inside

Locked in my room
Away from reflected glass
Just waiting for time
And my life to pass

because under the make up
is a girl you dont see
under the make up
is where you'll find me
