Cover Up

Spackle my holes
if you wanna patch me up

Take your putty knife to me

Spread the love generously

These cracks you see

can be sanded smooth
and painted over
to make the view
seem good as new

Just realize all my flaws
your work did hide

still reside
just beneath
my new cosmetic surface

All the facade material
you slapped on 
can never change
who I am
