From a Bottle

The jet black silk of her bobbed hair
makes me wonder why she covers up
the natural beauty underneath

The red lipstick she smooths onto her lips
has me pondering why she covers up
the natural beauty underneath

The pasty white mask of her foundation
makes me question why she covers up
the natural beauty underneath

What are you hiding, beautiful girl
at the bottom of the bottle?

Who do you think is fooled
by the color of your hair
from the bottom of the bottle?

Wipe off the cherry red lipstick
it does no justice when it has come
from the bottom of the bottle.

There is a little vodka there
at the corner of your mouth
from the bottle of the bottle.

No one will love you
when you are passed out
at the bottom of the bottle.

Wake up from the bathroom floor
let the colors go down the drain
shine
