Good Enough and Nothing More

Ladies!
Remember,
That in order to withdraw from your houses
And into the world
You must, without an inkling of hesitation, of course
Apply dazzling lipstick
To show of those voluptuous lips
Otherwise they remain flat
Expressionless
A lonely desert
Mask your faces with deep powder
That takes hours to remove
But will make you feel beautiful,
Spread the blush on your cheeks
To help you achieve that 'natural flush',
A dewy glow for late nights,
Coat your eyelashes in dense, vicious mascara
So that your eyes are worth looking at,
And don't dare to forget that eyeliner!
Because without it,
Without any of it,
You're just not good enough,
And there is no way you will be,
So don't question it,
Don't defy it,
Don't resist
Or rebel,
Don't challenge the role that you were born to fill,
Comply with the expectations of society,
Even if you're left unhappy,
Even if you're left thinking you are worth more,
Because in the end,
Who cares what you think?
S o c I e t y determines your fate.
And ladies!
Don't forget your smiles!
Because as long as you look happy,
Nothing else matters
