Glitter & Glitz- A Poem

Glitter and Glitz

K.N. Lee

 

Glitter and glitz

Can make a plain face sparkle

Can make a dull smile shine

We crave the beauty of artificiality

And abhor the natural originality

We want acceptance

Maybe even praise

The dim recesses of our minds

Is where real confidence stays

Hidden and locked

Suppressed by the masses

We want the gems and gold of magazines

Follow the rules on the tv screens

I want love and know where to start

I want the cosmetics of the heart
