Make-Up Poem by Jacqui Broad

Make-Up



This morning when I've
put on my make-up
to start the day,
I stared at the face
in the mirror
putting on ivory
foundation to hide
the freckles away.
Covering puffy eyes,
from lately not getting
enough sleep.
Hot chocolate eye-shadow
will brighten my eyes
from the tears that I keep.
What to put on pouting,
unsmiling lips?
I look around in my bag,
ignoring the pain right
under my ribs.
And I discovered your love letter,
saying you love me.
I look up in the mirror,
and indeed my eyes shines brighter.
So I put on glittery rosy lipgloss,
to make my smile shine all day...
