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.

This is so sweet. It's an eye opener for all those girls out there who change themselves for the guys to love them.

You're most welcome. (:
This is absolutely beautiful in both meaning and expression.
(We have been brainwashed by the media (led astray by media's trick of light) . It has taken me a long time to realize that beauty is subjective.

You have struck a chord within me with these words that couldn't have hit the nail on the head with anymore precision:
"It is ok you're not Snow White,
So put that poisonous apple down"
It is so easy to just blindly accept what we are fed instead of questioning and deciding what we choose to "eat"....
"And be the natural beauty
God intended you to be,
Instead of sleeping your life away" such a waste of life to always think that you have to live up to a certain standard that someone else has set for you...

The ending is my favorite part... You have made the hopeless romantic in me sigh with such intense contentment. You have skillfully weaved our fairy tale ending with such wisdom that rings as an epiphany when realized. I absolutely love this!

In the end, beauty is subjective, and nothing anybody says should be able to make you feel bad. Maybe you're not beautiful to yourself, to the media, but rest assured that you are beautiful to SOMEBODY. Somebody out there thinks you're the most gorgeous thing they'd ever laid eyes on. And you're beautiful to me :D

Most girls put on make up because they are not happy with themselves. But I like to believe you're only old enough to wear make up once you realize you don't really need it to be beautiful. That's a nugget of wisdom I picked up from Desperate Housewives. :P Some of us only wear it for the love of make up in general. We see it as an art. Nail at for example: It's a teeny part of our body. One that no one ever looks at. It's stupid when people think women paint their nails to look attractive to men. Correction. Women get implants to look attractive to men. Women paint their nails simply because they like painting nails. The way we look may have once been for the attention of men, but that was a very long time ago. Back when feminism wasn't everywhere. Now, our physical appearance is simply for our personal satisfaction. :)
