My lips.
Nude lips.
A little dark at the edges.
Thin lips.
Stares. Stares.
A lot of stares.
I quiver.
Lipstick.
Red. Pink. Maroon.
Lipstick.
Put on that lipstick.
No. No. Not to look pretty.
Not to add color.
Color to the drained face.
Drained by the stares.
Lipstick.
Lipstick to hide.
Lipstick to divert.
Lipstick to disguise.
Disguise.
Disguise to pretend.
Disguise to fake.
Disguise to keep safe.
