Makeup, Make-Up, Make Up (Original) | Spoken Word Piece by caseybee

This is for all of my beautiful ladies out there.
“She’s tired.
Covers up her dark circles with concealer, hoping that the cosmetics are enough to conceal her. She’s got various lipsticks, foundations, blushes scattered ‘cross the counter… she don’t need it, but no one ever tried to see the real her.
Why bother? She’s got nobody to impress but she’s so overwhelmed by insecurities that she tries to stand out from the rest with the use of makeup, hoping that the cake up will cover up the mess. Try to cover the ugly she feels, thinking that all of the eyeshadows and fake lashes will make her any more real than the models in the magazines. Perfection—that’s her dream. Perfect skin, body and legs. Sick ritual, torturing herself with cut-outs and she constantly begs to be flawless. She knows can achieve it if she believes it with costmetics.
These insecurities—she has no security. The opposite sex always tellin’ her what she should look like and what she should be. But what I see, is what she could be. She doesn’t need all of this cake to be pretty. She’s a girl with potential and natural beauty.
She uses makeup to fake up the flawless facade, uses the cake to cover up her insecurities and make up for what she lacks but in my mind, she’s already perfect. She doesn’t need this mask.
Girl, you don’t need these things to feel pretty because you are. Beauty isn’t limited to a pleasant reflection but what’s inside your heart.
You are perfection. They say real girls aren’t perfect and perfect girls aren’t real, but nothing is more real than what you feel—so shut out those insecurities and open up your eyes because you’re more than just a piece of meat and inner thigh.
You’re divine.
You don’t need to cover up what’s inside or behind with layers of makeup.
Don’t settle for being just a tenth of a whole, a dime. Be a diamond and shine.”
That last line. <3
