her puffy lips
look mighty swollen
yet her sparkling white teeth
appear too clean, somehow
botox mouth
appears fake too
wonder what else
isn't the way
God intended
it to be?

my bunched bonus points should & could reflect a real comment for you
flashingly investagative
the opening has a curiosity of injury and not features. and when that goes to the extent of feeling repressed if not pushing them to bounds it's odd to know form letter of everyone's exhibition almost, not lighthearted.
the verse that struck me for an extra read within was "appear too clean, somehow" as though a strangeness of accomplishment is groomed.
beauty isn't always by our expediting, but I could pay attention to even to your outlook on what 'anything' might lead to in general competition...
patiently wondering what to back off to,

Although this piece can be taken in a humorous fashion it is one that can also be taken in a very serious fashion as well. Now a days, far too many people are fake and not just in the sense of wearing masks and such but literally 'fake' and surgically enhanced. It has gotten to the point that you don't even know any more just how much of a person is real and how much isn't. Thank you for entering and good luck!
