My natural state
Basic place
Neutral face
Oh huh?
Wait
There’s nothing wrong.
What do you mean?
Guess I’m just too far gone
To see how the
Media-induced
Stereotypical
Lipstick
Eyeliner
Blemish free
Pastel pink
Not me
Is who I have to be.
Tell me….
Who are you today?
Oh I see
You wanna be that
Barbie doll
Pop star
No one but a mockstar
Fangirl
Drama queen who always seems to get the scenes
Drop dead “gorgeous?”
Die-hard follower
Of someone who is
Just a
TV
Music
Movie personality
Written
Scripted
Airbrushed
Actress
Who caused you to ask me
What’s wrong?
