I shift my eyes away from yours
So you cannot see my shame
I push the hands of hope aside
And swallow all the blame
I look into the mirror
And see its true reflection
I cover up the scars I see
Of all the well earned rejection
I paint my eyes that see
But never reveal a soul
I rouge my mouth that speaks
That whispers to be made whole
I wear the sparkle and the glitter
That fake me look alive
I wear the glam and the shimmer
Of a woman to survive
