Bite the Bullet

Putting on my makeup is challenging
I have Tardive Dyskinesia
I'll blot my lipstick while babbling
Putting on my makeup is challenging
While adding my eye shadow balancing
Cover up glided though Synaesthesia
Putting on my makeup is challenging
I have Tardive Dyskinesia

Your Triolet is very expressive, Angela. Tardive Dyskinesia can be taxing, but I have read about people who deal with it with good results (Michael J. Fox comes to mind). ~ Regards // paul

Angie, your poem is potent in its poetic and emotional force. Especially your last line, it is as impactful as it is moving. A triolet of deep expression. Inspiring and enlightening poetry, my friend. Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you.. ~Susan

- Involuntary body movements and make-up can certainly be a challenge, Angela :) - I always have wet eyes ... (tears) and very sensitive skin ... I rarely wear makeup ... - Good luck in the contest :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

As a women I love to wear make up , But having chronic dry eye makes it impossible it stays on for a little bit then have to wash it off. Good luck in the contest. Enjoyed reading. Hugs Eve

An expert on make up. Alas I don't wear make up. Come to think of it, I did twice on the stage. :) Lovely poem. ~~

I'm whipping out a medical dictionary to understand this one, Angela. I couldn't 'make up' that one! :) gw
