Since I Started Wearing Eyeliner
I raised the pencil to my eye
And slid it across the rim
I squinted hard and let out a sigh
My feeble line was thin
My first shade was Midnight Blue
I could hardly contain my fright
But deep within my heart I knew
Tonight would be a new night
As the night proceeded on
My eyeliner didn’t smudge
It seemed like all my friends were gone
Who were they to judge?
So? I wanted to enhance my eyes
Why should they care?
I was bombarded with a pack of lies
It just wasn’t fair
Was it hate or jealousy
That made them disappear?
Or did they see a change in me
That caused them all to fear?
A fear of what, I’d go away?
They know me better than that
Why should I explain anyway,
Before eyeliner my face was flat!
And so I wander from my plight
There is not much more to say
My eyeliner will come off tonight,
But go back on to start a new day
