Made Up

By Frank Bolaji Irawo

Made up, me

Apparently a single self

Being preserved, at all costs

All made up, that's me

Made up, me

Such exquisite history

All the stories that define me

All made up, about me

Made up, me

Who I ought to be

How much it takes to reach

All made up, you see

Made up, me

Whose love will fill me

The only one, made for me

All made up, like all the others

Made up, me

What I deserve

What it takes to be enough

All made up, on the huff

Made up, me

What my services are worth

What it would take to be content

So made up, non can agree

Made up, me

Made up so much

Don't know where it stops

All mind made up, behind the scenes

Made up, me

Why take it so seriously?

Might as well have fun

Nothing to lose, I'm all made up
