Plastic

[PatienceMarie]

I put the makeup on,

and I put pound by pound.

Face looking plastic,

but it shields the crowds.

 

I take the time to listen,

and I take the time to smile.

I become an actress

like an innocent child.

 

Beauty is only skin deep,

but they never knew

the luggage I have to carry

just to please you.

 

I can spit the lines,

and make a cheesey grin.

All the secrets,

just lie within.

 

and I do it....

I do it all for you.

Just to please,

and maybe to help you see through.

 

Because frankly,

it's all I can be.

Just an actress trying hard

only to please.

 

So just judge me,

like you say you don't.

Go on and tell me

that you really won't.

 

Let me hear it.

All those stupid lies.

The little lines you'll say

just to pass the time.

 

I've heard it....

I've heard it all before.

Maybe this time...

I thought it was something more.

 

Stupid assumptions.

Dumb thoughts indeed.

Maybe the mirror,

is the only one who sees.

 

Gotta work for it.

Play it day by day.

Trying harder

only to be pushed away.

 

Dumb insecurities.

They bring you to your knees.

Trying harder....

just to finally breath.

 

and I do it.....

I do it all for you.

Just to please,

and maybe to help you see through.....
