I am putting make-up on to see you,
And you tell me I don’t need it ’cause I’m beautiful.
But I still see every single flaw.
So I keep putting my make-up on,
Because, sometimes, make-up feels like the only part of my body I can control.

I can’t stop writing about love and love and love. I’ve been writing poems since I could talk. Welcome to my corner.
