Blue Lipstick

 There once was a lipstick that I had seen

I laughed and was certain it was not for me

Until one day something inside me screamed

“I need that blue lipstick; it’s fun and it’s free!”

I suppose that after I had been cooped up for long

Creativity inside me had been stepped on

And in order to help that feeling be gone

I longed for a blue lipstick over which I could fawn

I dreamed of how I’d pair it with a liner

And the lip gloss choices - even one was designer

In fact I even searched for a blue blush

Can you imagine what energy inside me must have been stuck?

So the girl who wears a lot of pink

Today searched for blue, that’s worth noting I think

And I do believe there must be a link 

Between my desire for blue and my creativity’s uncomfortable kink

For when stiffness occurs to even the girliest

She just may do something daring, though it will not be permanent

She may just buy cosmetics in shades of blue

It just may be to heal all that she’s been through
