Princess Of Illusion

Princess Of Illusion

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)
"

It is what it is, no more no less.

"

Detox the botox

Cause you are not fooling anyone,

Especially yourself

When you look in the mirror

That won’t lie to you

And see no age or emotion

On your face.

 

I know you are no wicked witch,

Just led astray

By the media’s trick of light.

 

It is okay you're not Snow White,

So put that poisonous apple down

And be the natural beauty

God intended you to be,

Instead of sleeping your life away…

 

Believe me when I say

You don’t have to be a princess

To feel like a million bucks,

Just one prince who feels rich

With you in his arms.

So put that poisonous apple down

This poem brought to mind Joan Rivers. She looks like something from Kabuki theater. She's knows that though. Good Poem Sir

Thank you so much, appreciate that
Absolutely inspired piece. Brilliant observations. Self image dominates the media. Striving to be someone we are not. Beauty is only skin deep is a common misunderstanding. Inner beauty last forever.
Great poem.

Thank you so very kindly.
Here here..Love your thoughts Cowboy !! Living in the land of botox and hair extensions… I see it all to frequently.. nose jobs are the least of these.. How do you tell your child they are so beautiful, when you destroy a trait that you share with your children?
There is a quote from a favorite movie of mine…It goes " a woman is only beautiful, when she is loved"
It is the truth.. Eyes of love see traits, not imperfections…

Amen to this, bro. I feel this way 100%. Natural is the way to go. No need to strive for perfection when it does not exist. Loved the message here.
