Lipstick Lullabies

Set fire to your memories;
Each pretty little portrait,
Fitted into a glitter-filled album of deception.

You scream for attention, adoration,
Super-sized sympathy.
Each word you utter is a fabrication,
Recycled from a stolen train-of-thought.

Dear, you’re so jaded,
Weaving second-hand words into another web of lies.
By quashing conformity -
You’re just like everyone else.

Fix your mask, mannequin,
Your face is melting behind it.
