The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

Sweet Suzanna, softly sleeping
Beyond the meadow, the sun is peeping
What wonders will this day hold for her?
Will she find someone to adore her?

So she to the bathroom dashes,
Showers, shampoos, cleans teeth, mouthwashes.
Her legs and underarms she shaves,
Wishes that her hair'd behave.

Moisturiser, foundation, blusher
Wrinkle-cream, lipstick, and mascara
False nails, false lashes - eyes look bigger
Dresses to enhance her figure.

Deodorant, fragrance makes her smell nice
High heels, low dress, jewels and necklace
She looks like a model from TV
But her real self, no-one can see.

Sweet Suzanna, please awaken
Your beauty's not from bottles taken
Show the world the real Suzanna
No make-up, comfy clothes, you are a winner.

Maybe Sweet Suzanna becomes who she is because of the care she takes with her whole self!

I wish it were so. Suzanna has no confidence in herself as she is. When she dresses up, as she does even to go to the shops, it transforms her. However, what people see is a public performance. An act. I wish that Suzanna valued herself as she is. Then the making up and dressing up would be for fun and expression. With Suzanna, it's a mask.

I know how she feels,

I don't wear make up or dress up alot but have my own mask.
But don't we all here.
