her long honey brown hair.
And the girls always envied
her narrow waist.
The boys always fell
for her deep blue eyes.
But she was always ugly inside.

Her stomach wasn't flat enough
Her nose was far too wide.
She thought her cheeks weren't perky
and her lips were too thin.
So she called the doctor
He could make the ugly leave.

He pumped her lips full of collagen
He filed the bridge of her nose
He sucked out all the fat she wanted
And she would've been nearly happy
If she didn't die on the table.

Oh, so true! I like this. I hope it changes some people's perspectives on themselves.

Awesome. Seriously, especially the dark, cynical nature of the title and the content of the actual poem, given the ending... I know I'm far from perfect, but I still respect myself enough to not have a doctor remold me just so other people can accept me. Maybe that's wrong to believe these days - I sure as hell know that no one's giving me any reason to think otherwise - but oh well. I just think other girls would be a lot happier if they stopped being so drastic like this...I just don't see how having human imperfections is worse than being 75% plastic. Especially saddening is in such cases as these when their vanity has a price...oh, but I've spoken too much. Congrats on the great write. :)
