Disaster Face

Disaster Face

*a poem about plastic surgery (for cosmetic reasons only)*

Ah, the beautiful people

Confuse your mirror
Hype up the whore
Make your body rich
until your soul is poor

Ah, the beautiful people

Tighten your face
just a little bit more
Watch your soul
walk right out the door

Ah, the beautiful people

Vanity trumps all
is what our children see
Slay any hope for reality
all in the name of beauty

WHOSE BEAUTY IS THIS???

Yes, I find it difficult
to smile in this superficial circus,
Just not for the same reason they do
Fuck beauty, find your purpose

Hello Renee X...

There is so much emphasis on looks...

Before you know it...

Everything is changed...

I think it changes who a person is on the inside...

So much superficial...

Do you they really know who they really are? 

When things can go terribly wrong...

It's almost like a car?

You fix one thing...

Something else goes wrong...

Great message...

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

P.S. There are times people need cosmetic surgery...

Those born with a cleft lip so they can eat otherwise they would die...

People born with club feet, burn victims etc...

There's so much that goes on medically, psychologically and...

Most often it's a high price to pay in one form or another...

Thanks again...

Welcome to Cosmo! 

Hugs...
