Forever Young Poem by Kaila George

What really baffles me?
Is how women of today
Are for ever
Trying to look young

A nip a tuck
A way to smooth out the lines
How can one define?
What God gave to thee?

My mind just boggles
At all the attempts
To look so young
Just to be caught
Behind a false face
Of make believe

I may wear lipstick
Or a foundation at times
But good grief
A nip and tuck
It's too primitive to me

I cringe at the thought
Of a knife wielding its way
To remove my real face
And place one that's a fake

I hold my head high
And damn glad to say
The face that you see
Yes! That's the real me
