When you look in the mirror
Do you see horror or do you laugh
Do you recognize the person
Or do you feel you’ve been given the shaft?
When you crawl out of bed
Do you do it with ease
Or do you stop and fumble
Feels like falling to the knees.
If you rolled up your hair
And put make-up on your face
Do you think this would help
Make you feel part of the race?
When you go potty first thing
Do you look at your skin
Have you noticed the bags
That hang from your shins?
When you slip into clothes
Do you go for the look
Or do you put clothes on for comfort
Like a fish on a hook.
When you turn on the TV
And you see those faces
Does it make you want to go out
Buying up all make-up places?
I went through my stages
Of trying to keep up
Now I’ve decided to be comfy
And quit wondering what’s up.
