It's hard to see you like this
especially after knowing how beautiful you are
the world wants you to wear makeup
to cover up your imperfections
but you're not perfect
the blood
the bandages
the pain
that's your real makeup
your war paint
that's who you are
it's a symbol of the hell you've been through
the wars you've fought
the battles you're still fighting
but nobody wants to see you in that light
the world wants a model
if they only knew
if they could only imagine
someone so beautiful
so unafraid to go through such ugliness
and continue to survive
they don't know that a part of you dies
and what they see are ashes
waiting for you to come back to life
