Lipstick, eyeliner, light ring.
Searching for the perfect blend,
of beauty and allure, to bring the audience in.
Kabuki actors, bold and bright,
adorned with makeup, masks, delight.
Their faces painted, stories told,
In vivid colors, strong and bold.
Masked assassins in the night,
hidden faces, out of sight.
Their numbers unknown, secrets kept,
silent killers, quiet, adept.
Character assassins, sly, unseen,
in high school halls, behind the screen.
Social media fuels the fire,
ambition, envy, hidden desire.
Beneath the surface, tensions brew,
influencers in light, while shadows loom.
Makeup signals stories deep,
emotions layered secrets to keep.
Innocence hides darker thoughts,
Subtle danger in brushes and pots.
Kabuki’s famed prom queens,
graceful, poised, uncertain behind the scenes.
Rehearsed acts, uncertain ends,
in a world where few are friends.
Camera’s on, lights set right,
send the message, start the fight.
As the bell rings, tension builds,
Today’s drama, soon fulfilled.
