My Christmas Wish

All I want Colors, a variety For Lips, eyes Every shade To rival the Gods Christmas morning, Eager For the makeup Requested Months ago, Hand’s grip Presents Over and over Brush rubbing contents, Fake A false sense Of color, Pretend-play “Too young,” Dad says. “Maybe next year,” Mom urges. Denied, A tinge of Sadness, but hope For the upcoming Year - a year older 12/6/21 Winter Wishes Poetry Contest
