Makeup

I know this might sound crazy to you, That a dude like me, Wears makeup to cover up, What you can't see. I have a cut right above my nose, And bruises on my cheek bones, But that is crystal clear as a window. I try not to wear a lot And keep it confined, So I just put on a little bit of a smile. Because a fake laugh, Would make people think that I'm trying too much, Even though, I know I'm just a phony For wearing a smile as makeup. Because every time I'm alone I look at myself in the mirror, And the happiness I hold, Disappears.
