You can tell
when someone is trying
to cover up who they are
inside.
One word
Makeup.
They try to hide
everything they feel
inside, and act
like a completely
different person
without it on.
Like they are free
from everything
in the world.
Two phrases:
Let your imperfections show.
Love your imperfections, they make you who you are.
