I have this job that doesn't let me work.

I have this boyfriend that I will never love.

I have this amazing brain, but no talent.

I have a look that takes hours, but pleases no one.

I have plans without ambitions or means.

I have friends I rarely see.


What do I have?

Appearances.

Appearances are only a comfort to others. They do nothing for the one who knows what lies underneath the mask and the makeup.

...

or what doesn't lie underneath

...

I am not even shallow,
I am without substance.

I take my meaning from others and return little.

Maybe not nothing, but only enough something to fool you.
