Plastic
June 16, 2013
I throw it all away
Wash my face
And stare at myself in the mirror
You once said you saw beauty in me
Where did that go?
Years and age took over
I understand that you're ashamed
I am too
After all, who wants a mother that can't say no?
The surgeries seemed to help
But then I changed and now I am alone with my demons
I should have seen my true beauty
But it's too late
The beauty is gone
And now all I am is plastic
