Squeezed

She's the one who likes

A plastic face

Plastic eyes

Plastic everything in between

Designer clothes

Neon sign

But where can the real girl be seen?

Reputation is my mind

Appearance is my heart

Ego is my soul

Never found apart.

I suppose the self-esteem issue would be the problem for most women who indulge in such artificial intelligence. What they have isn't good enough or they just don't want to do the work it takes to improve. This is a good observation and not one I see often here. Good poem. (Relic...this is my other account).

Superficiality vs your inner qualities?

[Akira Kodama]

Mine personally? No.

Perhaps people put up a superficial wall to keep the heart protected... there could be a vulnerable or insecure heart in there... some people are more fragile that you think...

Well penned... lovely flow of words~ :)

I love this poem, it describes so many modern girls these days.

[Corset]

reminds me of that song, Fake Plastic trees, love that song actually. Thought provocating write, but whats more and for some reason catches my eye the last stanzas acrostic backwards is "near" I don't know why that caught my eye...I've never had plastic surgery, but my sister has and she's very much still, a real person with real feelings...just saying.

[Akira Kodama]

This isn't even about plastic surgery but it could be, I suppose. And plastic surgery in general isn't bad and you don't give much detail for me to respond to. If you fucked up your nose and got a "new" one or whatever that doesn't really matter. However botox, lip enhancements, pore destruction, unnecessary breasts jobs, etc are disgusting.

[Corset]

Is that fact or opinion? one man's trash is another man's treasure, I'm not being contrary on purpose , i'd just like to think that if a woman wants to try to look better to boost her confidence she shouldn't be made to feel less than a person for it. but then, "I'm a live and let live" sort of person.

[Akira Kodama]

I think if people have trouble accepting who they are and being confident they should instead try to focus on that issue instead of use unnatural material things to mask it.

[Corset]

Thats a very good point too.

[Bowers]

I loved this poem! it makes me really acknowledge the fact that so many girls today are getting plastic surgery, to fix minuscule flaws that no one notices, I don't get it, why they are unable to be satisfied with their own bodies, content with their natural beauty.. this was a lovely write, great job!

[BubblingMe]

Beautiful, really amazing!!

[Akira Kodama]

Thank you.

[BubblingMe]

your welcome :)

[Silent Serenity also kn..]

I always wondered what some men see in that plastic barbie doll type...perfection only on the outside, vain to the hilt, yet on the inside raw sewage of putrid stupidity....the outside reflection of the perfect plastic shape doesn't know how to love, only in the moment and doesn't last long...but the real women with all her faults would move heaven and earth for man and they are passed by without a second glance.....I really enjoyed this ink creation of yours, Black Market Chemo, speaks volumes so thank you for sharing
