With nips and tucks she saw
The woman she’d dreamed of
Ready now to find someone
To take a chance on love

The last three men were cruel
Each seeking her for her youth
Expecting her to be someone
Closer to false than truth

Three times she felt the knife
Of surgery done in quest
Seeking her heart’s fulfillment
Wanting only to be the best

She dared not smile nor frown
Fearing lines would come back
Keeping her face expressionless
Afraid of a reaction crack

She wondered when she’d find
A man to accept her affection
Discovering to her dismay that
there is no peace within perfection

A special thanks to icebox for this phrase....it was challenging indeed!

Glad you wrote this before I had that total body "lift."

Nice to read you again, and great message within this poem.

I can see how it would be challenging to write this! Very well done....and you've probaly hit the nail on the head in regards to plastic surgery.

not just a challenging phrase...but presents challenging thoughts to women to appear younger in order to hold onto what/who they think needs and wants perfection.

Nicely done, and those worry and laugh lines are who we are and show our vulnerabilities.
