Makeup Poem by Aisha Alansari

Do You know the feeling when a football player scores or even just plays football?
Do you know the feeling when an artist draws or even when he finishes his masterpiece?
Do you know the feeling when they see how much they both accomplished?
it's called happiness,
It's what makeup makes me feel.

Makeup is art, on your face,
it enhances your features not hide them, unless you want to,
which is what makes it great,
I don't see why make up deserves all this hate.

Wearing makeup isn't about insecurity,
it's about confidence, at least to me,
simply just applying these beautiful products on my face makes me happy,
Why? because that's my kind of masterpiece.

Makeup isn't what makes me feel beautiful, It doesn't make me beautiful,
I know I'm beautiful just like everyone else,
the face is everything, because without it, what is makeup?
the face is like a paper that an artist needs to draw on,
at the end of the day, your face is the reason you're beautiful.

I love to wear as much makeup as I want because I can,
Because I want to,
Because it fills my heart with happiness,
because makeup is my talent, makeup is what I'm good at.

I wear makeup whenever I want to, not just because I love it,
it's for practice,
how would my eyeliner be on fleek if I didn't practice?
how will a football player be a football player without practice?
Without practice, everyone would have been a mess.

Yes makeup has its drawbacks but so do many things,
I love it as much as you love sports or whatever that is you like,
you have your talent and I have mine,
Of course I can't exactly describe my feelings because feelings are supposed to be felt,
not described.

Makeup is my choice not yours,
so before you judge or ask me, think about it the next time.
