You paint your face with pretty colours to hide the pain you want no one to discover.
Fix your hair to hide your unease
Paint your nails so your hands look softer
Put on your best dress and high heels
So they don't ask you if you're feeling okay.
You put on a mask everyday.
Pretending to be okay.
Pretending you didn't cry yourself to sleep
Or that your stomach hurts so much you can barely eat.
The stress is starting to show, you need to let them know, that you're not as okay as you seem.
Before you fall apart at the seams.
