dying to stay young
seems a strange proposal, but is it worth examining
in order to feel better about the effects of time
some resort to transforming alterations
only problem is rarely do they look better just different
like a canvas stretched over a frame to the breaking point
inflated lips that look like rubber stamps and noses that resemble beaks
all the time i spend dissatisfied with my appearance or my looks
i chip away at the time afforded me trying to be something that i’m not
vanity has a place by the toilet and that’s about it
while you are dying to stay young, don’t forget you are dying
whether you end up in a box or a crock-pot, most would relent
that time would have been better spent living instead of dying to be young
get those balloons you call boobs, and those blown up lips away from me
it will give me nightmares
