Pimple Power

Red mountains on my face
With stretch marks at the base
Yellow cream makes it double bump
I hate when I smile with the lump

Well well well,  everything swells
Insecurities are everything that I can tell,
Eye to eye, nose to nose with a mask, I guest
The only thing I can do for now, my best

Midnight snacks I can’t sleep without these
Nuts plus exams and stress with a twist
But the evidence remains, keep me silent
Oh, crush, my love give me love, I will lend

I try all the magic to make them gone, disappear
All the rituals, secrets, potion just not let them to appear
But as usual, again and again, connect the dots, Polaris, constellation
Still looking forward for the best solution

Mirror mirror on the wall
When these marks start to fall
How can I face my problem, if my problem is on my face?
From Above, I want my head again to chin me up,
With confidence

Ouch it hurts, when they struck a word of bullying
Ouch it hurts, I squeeze it again, and there is another one
Another trace,

Made me smile, kabayan. A witty, self deprecating write. Glad to know dumadami na tayo dito. Keep them coming! The writes, not the bumps. :-)
