Every time I look <br />In the self-conscious mirror <br />The only thing I see <br />Is destruction and terror <br /> <br />I brush and I brush <br />To get my hair right <br />But I reach for perfection <br />But its nowhere in sight <br /> <br />I splash on my blusher <br />I smother it on <br />But it wont do the trick <br />Something is wrong <br /> <br />I paint on my lipstick <br />But it doesn’t work <br />The smell of insecurity <br />Is around and it lurks <br /> <br />I put shadow upon <br />My intricate eyes <br />To try and cover <br />My memories and lies <br /> <br />Finally I reach for <br />The flannel and poof <br />I rub off my make up <br />And uncover the truth<br /><br />Amy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/self-conciousness/
