Makeup City

Lashes dipped  
and curled ready  
for the town.
Black tar  
surround eyes  
almond brown
 
Eyelids sketched
with shimmer
and gold
Electric red  
lips have a  
permanent glow
 
The face
This place
Hey, lets head to
Makeup City
 
Where everything  
is pretty  
and cold
 
Foundation  
flawless and smooth
Flashing lights
Mascara eyes
Electricity in
my stare
 
I feel a fever
coming on
 
Where everything  
is pretty  
and cold
 
Foreheads wet
Stomach upset
Dizzy head
High skylights
kissing the air
 
The face
This place
Addicted to  
Makeup City
 
Where everything
is pretty and  
cold
 
I feel a hurricane
in the rain
Hopefully it  
all will get
washed away
 
The face  
This place
I'm drowning  
here at  
Makeup City
 
Where everything
is faded and
old
 
Somebody  
get me out of here
 
Before I get
washed away
Cause I'm  
drowning here
at Makeup City
 
Don't let me wash away

Author's Note
I love everything that celebrates being female.
Perfume, shoes, all the fun stuff. At times I do feel it could turn ugly.
Like tomorrow
Yikes!!
