When did I know that the two layer red in me was harmful?
When did I know that even my education don't stand a chance if my lips were red?
Why did I lip my lips red and get slut-shamed
Why is that?
Why is a woman with dark red lipstick called a slut?
Why do the stereotypes of light shaded lipstick take an upperhand and not the dark one's?
When did I get them and wear it?
Just that moment when I wore them I felt happy!
But what about my moods after wearing them, walking across a street and called by strangers "slut!"
Why does someone who doesn't even know me, someone who doesn't even know what Iam upto, slutshame me?
Who are they? Who gives them the right to choose the right colors for my lips!!!
Am I not worthy enough to wear a dark shaded lipstick????
