Well I tried,

I tried to look a little pretty today

To hide my scars

Not in my heart but on my face

But I wish,

I wish we could actually do this to us within

A little concealer on the heart

Colour corrector over the scars

Adding new products each day to the list

It would have been a big shopping cart.

But no,

No there is no foundation made for our flaws

We all need to breathe and take a pause

And think,

Think is this life a stupid play

Us wishing for masks to put on our souls everyday

Or is there a reason behind everything

Which we don’t know about today.

Oh yes,

Yes they say applying primer before makeup is a must

So that the skin underneath remains original and real

It is a symbol of hope I say

A hope which all of us feel

Look a ray,

A ray of hope that again shouts

A layer of primer on your soul is very important

There should be no doubts

Because hopefully we’ll throw the masks away some day

Our soul beautifier wishlist will finally wash away

We will all be comfortable in our own skin

Not just outside, but from the within

So don’t,

Don’t forget to put that primer on your soul

For if you hang in there

Give it some extra care

You could help it shine bright again as a whole

So put,

Put on the sunscreen of self love before stepping out

It’ll take us a long way

There will be no marks of burn

From any kind of self doubt

And that day,

That day we’ll find us pretty as we are

Find strength and learning from each of our scar

No foundation for the flaws we always denied

No more masks to put on, no more reasons to hide

I guess,

I guess a tear of joy fell

That day, I cried.
