No Make Up

physical features
gods work, sketched into inner beauty
no layers of ugly
just the hidden secrets of accepted love
imperfect perfections
no critics
just the reflection, without the makeup
why cover flaws, when perfection will never be found?
makeup hides the layer of reality while life adds the false advertisements of fairytale looks
damaging self images by the words or the lens or thy lips
look in the mirror and love the reflection that smiles without makeup!!
