Oh my.
Everyone will see it!
Front and center on your beak
The ruby-red, comically-large zit
Yikes.
Your confidence is glass
No amount of concealer can fix this…
There lies only one, slightly pain-inducing solution
Ugh.
A gentle squeeze to end the humiliation
surely you can minimize the blunder
But no pressure will alter that stubborn bump!
Ouch.
So you push and push and push
Beyond the painful itch, despite the blaring warnings
Until everything spills out in a glorious disaster
Hm.
After the uphill battle, you feel the very same
The redness scars, the pore widens
You step back from the mirror, but nothing changed besides hope
Sigh.
No one would have noticed!
The small little bump on your nose
The meaningless, inevitable zit
Pimples come and go
Only scarring from impatient hands
Leaving subtle skin a canvas once again
Perhaps, I should have done nothing at all
