Makeup
I try and try,
But I just cry and cry.
It's okay, I'll stand up again,
I'll walk all day in the rain.
Drenched I'll still carry on,
I'll never tell you what has gone.
The words wouldn't get out,
Even if all I did was shout.
The mask stays put,
And my mouth stays shut.
I can't go there,
I can't be so bare.
The fragility is there,
But you wouldn't see if you stare.
I keep it all laid up,
That's why I wear makeup.
