When you see me what do you see?
Baby soft skin
Big brown eyes
Hair that flows like a waterfall
soft curvy figure
What if I were to tell you
that its all fake?
baby soft skin turns to leather
big brown eyes
are the result of plastic
hair that takes hours to look just right
caked with products and damaged with heat
soft curvy figure that was only attained by a cut here
a little less there
But it's all okay
with the face of an artificial angel
I'll never be alone
never go unloved
no one will ever leave
well until age starts to show
but when the day comes a little Botox will help
forever persevered in the time of youth
With out the ability to show a single emotion
What is the cost of beauty?

depends, on your perspective really?
is makeup and plastic surgery, the cause or
this trending self-abusive, utilisation
distorting, their purpose at origination?
Is there anything wrong
with a burn victim, or someone
aesthetical deformed from birth
to utilise, the available tools in modernity
in trying to belong
and stand out, a little less?
I think not. But,
when others utilise those same tools
not out of necessity, but because
they feel a societal pressure
to fit-in better
to utilise and accentuate their physical traits
to achieve what they want in life, that's when
we have a problem, I think...
(thanks for sharing
a good read)
