Perfection

perfection shattered
in the web of lies covering
your ugly beautiful face
streaked with mascara across
your river blue eyes
and pink lipstick put on perfectly
across your full thick lips

and i, with my make-upless face
am missing perfection
because i’m not streaked with
the shimmering beauty
of make up
and the barbie doll world

i am more like
something that hasn’t
been created or discovered yet
and no one
knows what i am
so you poke at me
and pick at my flesh
tearing away the pieces
to try and find
a core
a center
[a.fucking.reason]

take the beauty
cut it into pieces
and you’re nothing
no one
[just.like.me.]

you are
[void]
and nothing
like me
with pieces
[missing.and.shattered.]

I am [raw.and.exposed.]
