Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Looked in the mirror and did not like
What reflected back at me

Your nose is not right, it screamed at me
Too big, too fat, too long
I have to get this fixed right now
Go under the surgeon's knife
My nose is fixed, it is just right
The doctors they assured me

Looked in the mirror and did not like
What reflected back at me

Cheeks too high, too prominent
My face they did not match
We can fix and alter that
To make your face appealing
Without a thought it's back I go
To let them do the procedure

Looked in the mirror and did not like
What reflected back at me

My lips too thin, I look quite mean
They say these make bad lovers
Easy to fix, the doctors say
We'll just squirt in some collagen
Luscious lips you soon will have
The answer to a girl's prayers

Looked in the mirror and did not like
What reflected back at me

My chin too wide, too masculine
It makes me look ridiculous
A chin I need that's feminine
So elegant, dainty and so petite
Easy done, the doctors say
We'll chisel out a bit

Looked in the mirror and did not like
What reflected back at me

Skin not right, there's wrinkles there
It makes me look much older
Lift my face and smooth it out
I begged all the doctors
I need my face perfect to be
For a man to be attracting

Looked in the mirror and did not like
What reflected back at me

A spoiled b*tch, a selfish b*tch
One that's mean and nasty
It did not matter how much I changed
My semblance using surgery
Was not my face that drove them off
But what lay underneath it

About this poem:
In this day and age the magazines tell us to go for the quick fix. Plastic surgery is getting out of control when even children are having it to improve their self esteem. True beauty always comes from the inside and no matter what you do on the outside it will never change that. This was not aimed at any particular person however I have known a few people who have had multiple procedures and they were just as unhappy in their life as they were before. I am not against plastic surgery as such but I think it has gotten out of control.

Undergoing plastic surgery is the last sin women can commit. Let them improve themselves as much as they wish if they have enough means and can afford such operation. Attractive looks increase their chances in life beyond doubt and contribute to their self-esteem and future happiness. The other thing is what lies underneath and that looks should not be the end in itself, etc. With a bit of luck and good educational background, sympathetic and kindly attitude, and perseverance enough plain women can forge their own happiness in many other ways. Thank you for sharing your interesting observations with us. handshake

We don't like to see in the mirror the conforme copy of our lines, forms and imperfections.. but the true beauty is hidden within ourselves like a pouch of jewel.

cool
