beauty from pain

They say beauty is pain
no concealer can mask
the scars on my wrist
no sparkly lip gloss
can silence my screams
no diamond earrings
can keep out the whispers
no voluminous mascara
can hide the truth
no shimmering shadow
can cover the lies
no faker finger nails
can stop me from sinning
no rhinestone rings
can stop the knife in my hand
no slinky stingy dress
can cover who I am
No 4 inch stiletto heels
can make me walk away
and no rainbow band aid
can stop the bleeding
No black, long stitches
can help fix the wound
no new lives just born
can replace the ones gone
no burning pictures
can rid the memories
no begging or sorry
can make things right
no silk handkerchief
can wipe all the tears
and pity little kisses
can't erase the pain
they say beauty comes from pain
So I must be drop dead gorgeous
