Love Poem: Be Yourself

Be Yourself

every morning
I paint my face
this pale
uncompromised
canvas
a dab here
brush stroke there
in surrealistic hope
that the world will see
someone else and
somehow
still see me

at night
a little more
glitter here
gloss there
maybe you'll see
someone else and
somehow
fall in love
with me
