red lipstick

one stick

one swipe 

that represents my love

my adulthood

so where is my lipstick?

who's borrowing it tonight?

who's borrowing my courage coat tonight?

I need both to appear ready for anything

  • picking up the pieces

    sarcastic jabs and quippy lines

    I hope you know I usually don't mean it

    and I know my best is not enough

    but that's what being human is all about

    I don't have to worry about perfection

    I will overcome compulsions

  • day dreamers

    like shifting shadows moving across walls and space

    I constantly reflect everything and everyone

    daydreamers like to envision a new world

    one where every cog in the machine does its job

    we get tired of being the mirror
