the truth shows through your [Covergirl] mask
without water, without fire, plainly lies your expression;;
maybe then you’ll realize, age h a l t s for no woman.
&& gravity dragging at your year-lined skin
(may show you just how wrong you are)
that you thought you’d invest in the CURE
for something *so natural* but hated by those *so vain*
the more you slather on, the
deeper.
sinks.
your.
denial.
&& the worst feeling of all is being left on your own-
[but life doesn’t give you tools to conquer it, sweetheart]
Beauty only |kisses| its favorites quickly
lest they overcome Beauty itself.
the most f.a.v.o.r.e.d are the most j.e.a.l.o.u.s
hunting always for the Next Big Thing
to stop Aging and recapture Loveliness
well that’s never gonna happen (again)-
Age wins.

The best part in the whole poem I think is the...
deeper.
sinks.
your.
denial.
Mainly because it has the imagery and the feeling in this little bit. It also stands out to the eye and if you read that part first it makes you want to read the rest of the poem, Great job on this piece and good luck in my contest.
