Princess Of Illusion

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.

Dude, you are so funny but of course, once you grow up (because you're still soooo young) you will be even more bootifuller ;-)

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

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes she most certainly does… thank you sir.

[Kai Rollins]

Thank you for this really. I feel as if some people really needed to see this.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much, appreciate that

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

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…

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I love that quoter and appreciate your sharing your insight on my poem and subject at hand.

[Renée]

You have a tender eye for others and love… I am thrilled to be able to read and take in your thoughts..

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Awes shucks that is the nicest thing anyone could say to me.

[Deuces]

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.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you kindly sir… perfection lies within our imperfections.

[Deuces]

Very, very true.

[Leslie Philibert]

this is nice, tough, but tender too...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]
