Image for the poem Pink Nails

Pink Nails

Pink nails hide the dirt of insecurity
Blow dryers blow away true vitality

Fake eyelashes flutter false claim
Pencilled brows draw a plastic picture frame

Coloured contact lenses let you connect less
Support tights keep bound self-acceptance

Bleached hair bathes away earthly states
Designer labels label puppets

Breast implants implant poison into loathed bodies
Lipstick stains stain inner voices

Foundation layers bury the shame of skin
Bottled tan helps bottle out of a natural win

A make up mask… in a made up world
On the stage I am, playing a girl

Mirrors reflect a game I play with myself… to know me
Let’s keep investing in… Beauty
