Beauty Poem by R.P. Coursey

Beauty

Rating: 5.0


She's in the
flourescent bathroom,
dabbing on fake skin
a little darker than
her own.
Outlining her hazel
eyes
Cleopatra-like,
Pouting and plastering
a potion
from a silver tube
on her lips.
She looks down at me
looking up at her and
smiles.
I wonder how
I will ever learn
to be beautiful.
