I trace my lips carefully
Layer warm foundation
darken my eyes like Cleopatra.
There, looking stronger now,
not seductive, just assured.
Beauty is power
and don't I feel sassy
with those sparkling eyes?
Facing the doctor
contrary teens
quarrelsome co-workers
or a weary, worried hubby
I can work the magic
finish the list
steal the trophy
with the help of a little
judicious color
and a witty attitude.
