face mask
(key = evolving identities)
i learned that the best skincare routine
involves showing up often with a shimmering gang
of gels, creams, lotions, masks
each confidently boasting their talents
each eagerly waiting for you
to soak in
but sometimes even with your best efforts
your skin wants to throw a coup
blemishes erupt like a irritated geyser
wrinkles multiply like a pregnant spider
and you can't help but ask yourself
who am i looking at now?
it's your permanent face mask
one that forever morphs and contorts
one that is supposed to show
how put together you really are
i just have to remind myself
to peel off the concealer
when i'm ready
to show up
