Blemishes.
Skin-deep reflections
of internal imperfections.
Scars.
Disquieting reminders
of the sins she left behind her.
Smudges.
Destroying all pretension
by exposing true intentions.
Cover-up.
Botox smiles cannot erase
the truth she'll someday have to face.

Make-up
Make-up
Six letters that define hell.
Make-up,
Blue streaks across the eyes.
Make-up,
All the wrong colours,
Never the exact shade that it needs to be.
Make-up,
Always blending, and blotting.
Make-up,
Six letters that define hell.

This is really--strange. I like it, though--the rhyming isn't stereotypical, and the rhythm works well. It's short but to the point, which makes for a nice read. good job!

Very cool, kind of a metaphor for all the pretending we do in life. How we lie to ourselves and other people...Very well written and thought provoking. I wish you luck in the contest!

Very well done, you took one of my simpler poems and expanded it, thank you for joining the contest.
Edit: Still very well done. I love the wording that you have chosen, and the fact that you branched out from the poem but stuck with the topic.
