The Money We Spend on Mascara

Have you ever considered the money we spend on mascara

The thoughts we spend on our outside

I don’t want them to see that pimple there

Or I hate my color hair

Although it’s fun to wear sparkly lipgloss and curl my hair

Sometimes I feel like I’m in chains

Worrying about what I look like on the outside

What others see

Have you ever considered the ripples in the water

Or the wrinkles in a leaf

Beauty isn’t perfect and that’s ok 

Because that’s what makes it beautiful

unique

Without all those locks and chains
