lipstick - a small writing piece
“I am wearing so much lipstick that it smears off onto my hands and clothing, leaving fluorescent red traces of moments ago where I know it cannot fully be erased. I’ve thought many times about the lingering effect the past has upon the present, as well as the future and it no longer pains me as much to think that I may not escape this constant nostalgia. I write, with the conviction of one who has seen the falsity as well as darkness humanity may hold; the alarming thing being the actual mildness of my previous situation. Though many have tried to disarm me of my indifference, it is not advisable to take on a task such as motivating the unmotivated, breathing will into the veins of the unwilling. Wise men have tried, and failed. It is with this I say to you that I am one of those impossible projects only the hopelessly optimistic try to take on.”

Note: This could be taken in several different ways, it doesn't necessarily apply to myself, and myself alone. I believe it could hold true for quite a few people out there...
