unmasked

this is me unmade up. wet, washing the day off my face.

my imperfections glistening.

can you see my impatience?
do you sense my wavering self-esteem?
you know from looking at me that i can be bossy, don't you?
what about my over-care taking or perfectionism?
how do you like my fear of commitment?
the extra pounds my petite frame carries?
the one eyebrow arched slightly higher than the other?
the blemishes invading my formerly clear skin thanks to the birth control?

oh well.
it is all a part of me.
