dollface,

by Andrew S Adams

wear the makeup, dollface.
the tears wont smear the black
under your eyes, and the moment
will not tell your secrets.
the only telling signs of any
dangerharmdisease
is the utter lack of imperfection

nothing is flawless,
and everything is incomplete.

Andrew, I'm always so glad to read the POTD poems. They give me a glimse into writers I may never had read. Brilliant piece of work. Congratulations on your POTD.

Man this is lean, I like this a lot! Your poem has major backbone and the last two are killer lines, Andrew. Congratulations on your Poem of the Day!

Effective title with puctuation included, it accentuates the directed personal point in a quite abrupt and conversational way.
