Makeup Covered Bruises

Makeup Covered Bruises
Current mood: crappy

She takes her time doing her hair

Trying so hard just to look right

Applying the makeup heavily

Covering her bruises from last nights fight

Hiding herself from the world around

She screams, but no sound

Painful secrets held behind her makeup

For she just isnt good enough

Parents yelling she cries out loud

Lord please just take me from this place

For I just cannot handle another fight

Another tear falling down my face

Take me, take me away away

To a place my tears no longer fall

And no longer will bruises be inflicted

To my fragile skin, thats oh so pail

She takes her time doing her hair

Trying so hard just to look right

Apply the makeup heavily

Covering her bruises from last nights fight
