Imitation of Life

Lips.

Lips so big you learn to hate them.

Hate putting lipstick on because it

attracts attention to your so called

soup coolers.

Hair.

Hair so unique that everyone who

approaches you wants to touch it

but when it comes to wearing it

at work, the conversation of

is it appropriate comes up.

Cheeks.

Not the cheeks on your face

but the cheeks on your bottom half

that were made to

naturally grow bigger for your people.

So big that in the 19th century

Sarah Baartman was put on

display for all to see.

Lips.

The lips you were born to hate

they now duplicate.

Duplicate to the point where they are

damaging their bodies to

obtain the perfect pout.

Hair.

The "oh my gosh, I wish I could

do my hair like yours.

You know what, I will and be

credited for being

innovative and trendy."

Cheeks.

The ones that were once put on

display as a mockery are now

being produced with shots.

Shots you take from the fat of

other places in your body to

make something you were

not born to have.

Imitation is the biggest form of flattery,

I guess.
