    Mirrors
    Emulation
    Which one despises?
    Oneself,
    My body,
    This face.

    Nose, eyes, mouth.
    Nostrils, lashes, teeth.
    Cartilage, follicles, enamel.
    All make up
    This face.

    Compact, eye shadow, lipstick.
    Talc powder, fish scales, castor oil.
    Cocaine, violence, poison.
    All make-up
    This face.

    A smirk,
    A smile,
    This frown and your eyebrow
    Risen in defiance.
    Reflection
    Mine.

    This is my face,
    And I'd gladly fuck my mouth,
    But touch-ups are annoying.

      An unusual and original write I suppose.
    To me, it recreates the self-image that this day and time expects of us. To look good no matter how that is achieved. Which is a real shame.. because, given that.. many have left out what really matters.. our hearts, and how we see and react to the world.
    Some parts threw me.. but I have to say, it was interesting to read.

      ummmm...alrighty then. That last couple of lines threw me pretty good.

    Compact, eye shadow, lipstick.
    Talc powder, fish scales, castor oil.
    Cocaine, violence, poison.
    All make-up
    This face.

    This had a bit of in impact on me, though I can't really explain to you exactly why that is. It just seemed to hit me a bit. I guess it just reminds me of what we do to ourselves to look a certain part, yet underneath it all no matter how beautiful things are on the outside, there's still stuff underneath that you can't just cover up.
    Either way...this was interesting and as far as I'm concerned pretty good. I guess you need to read a little bit into it and I'm not sure that I necessarily get the message that you may have been conveying in the piece. But I did tell you what I did manage to take out of it. Thanks for sharing!
