Eyeliner

I do my makeup like a ritual and talk to myself like a hype crew — grwm is prayer and wardrobe is scripture, I’m getting ready like I’m meeting my future self

Eyeliner is a compass, I point it toward possibilities (mm)

Lipstick is a signature I leave on my own pages (skrrt)

I hum a playlist like I’m rehearsing my confidence (nah)

You see the brush strokes, but I see the way I steady my breath (steady)
