Curled hair, winged eyes and lips red,

Body hugging dress and stilettos blue 

Had my first makeover for who knows who,

Going to meet a guy on a blind date 



I’m nervous, feels like hours though it’s a ten-minute wait 

Oh, he’s here, a handsome hunk with a nice beard 

He continued complementing my looks, but I felt weird 

‘Cause it’s not ‘me’ who he sees today

Life, a beautiful lie


Today, I’m a character in a play 

In reality, I’m a tomboy who loves a sweet girl 

Just yesterday, I gifted her a chain of pearl 

We kissed and dreamt of marrying each other 


But I got slapped and thrashed when I told my mother 

She told me I’m a girl, I should marry a guy 

So here I am, an imposter telling him all the lies

I can’t go against my family, so I don’t know what to do 

Tell me hypocrites, what would you do, if it was for you?
