Ah, The Hell With It

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.
