Twelve

i started doing makeup when i was 12 years old
i would steal it from my mother
every time she caught me she laughed and helped me do it properly
and yet i cannot count on two hands how long i’ve gone without it
lipstick and lipgloss
turned into primer and foundation
which turned into concealer and eyeshadow on top
mascara turned to false eyelashes
and nail polish turned into acrylics
scrunchies turned into headbands
tight shirts turned into baggy shirts
‘i’m fine’, i’ve always said
but i felt more fine when i was twelve
