Real Fake Beauty

Fake Real Beauty.

 

I get talking in my local pub to a friendly woman

Somehow, I cannot help noticing all the additions.

The skin layered in this thick bright orange glow

 Inches of foundation, so all the spots don’t show

 

Both eyebrows tattooed in a dark half-moon shape

Nails so long if you scratched your skin would great

Hair extensions that do not match her natural hair

Injected lips so if she smiled her mouth would tear

 

Bosoms pumped so large she would float in the sea

Fake tan covering every bit of skin that you can see

I looked on, I tried to work out what all this is about

What is she hiding, she does not want to come out.

 

It is clear to me; this is the way she wants to be seen

And she certainly believes she is every man’s dream

Nothing of her is genuine, I quickly offer my excuses

I leave her sitting there as she uploads more photos

 

Maybe one day she will realise and start to believe

 its what\'s inside where you will find the real beauty.
