make-up

i guess, i've arrived at the age
where i'm suppose to put on some make-up
before i went out...
or meeting new people...

most of my friends are beginning to familiarize themselves
with variety of make-up products.
or maybe they've been so...a long time ago.

even for the usual classes,
i can see traces of eyeliner and blusher on their faces.
they hook on to colored lenses recently.
and without rea;izing it, i'm now one of the few
who are left wearing glasses.

i wonder...
will i ever change?
i had put on some make-up before...
i had put on lenses a couple of time before...
but each time...it took so much effort...
felt too alienated...
i don't think i'll ever wear it again.

applying foundation and face powder...
put on the eyeliner and mascara...
and then,the blusher-gently rub against your cheek-apple.
lastly, your listick.

when trying to look beautiful for someone special...
this kind of tedious work comes naturally.

for now, maybe not for me.
i prefer my glasses and my hats.
at least...for now.
