When I was with you I had to be perfect and you almost made it possible Becoming the magician, waving your hands Making me into the modern day Mona Lisa my cheeks becoming a blushing center stage You nursed my lips took away the metallic taste out of my mouth You dropped the bridge of my nose, so that the world can see my eyes my body became a rough draft your imagination of what a woman should look like You told me the dimple in my chin was interesting My crows feet was stepping stones for turning 40 You enhanced my attributes my restricted body replacing my bones with plexiglas. until nothing mean in this world could break me When there was nothing left to paint over you enlisted me in your cabinet of super models I was outdated before I even got discovered I was old material and soon to be your manicon obeying because you put me on your tab and I owed you respect I depended on you to keep my smile energized Now with out your talented state of art technology and weird science I'm normal © Sharmeka Hunter-Wilsonwritten a year ago..for know particular reason, this may still haft to be edited, but I'm not sure Written November 20th, 2001 © on Dec 28 2001 08:41 AM PST   0 • 10
