Facing Change by Changing Face

She decided she needed something different
She decided to change something for real
She always had hated her earlobes
Her lips would never "seal the deal".

Her tummy was now flabby
And her arms now jiggled when she walked
She wanted some quick fix that reflected a "new" girl
Instead of the girl she got. 

So she went to the cosmopolitan city
And checked in at the spa
And she had her looks evaluated
They even checked out her ta ta's! 

And when they finished up the exam
An estimate they had comprised
They told her to come back again, 
Once she had gotten over her surprise....

Because the list was now quite long
Longer than she suspected once before
And she wondered how she had not known
To much of her bitter horror!

She went home and thought about it
And cried a little too- 
How could the people at the spa
Let her leave with so much left to do? 

Then she drove back to the city
With all the money she had saved, 
And asked for botox, lypo and the works
And she tried hard to now be brave.

And they gave her shots around the eyes.
And told her to be still- 
And while they worked she imagined herself
Beautiful-  having lunch on Capitol Hill.

But when she woke they now informed her
It would take days for the swelling to go down
And unfortunately she looked so ugly
She stayed home, definitely not wanting to leave town.

The swelling lasted a few days
The bruising-  maybe a week. 
And now when she looked in the mirror
She was unsure of what she wanted to seek. 

Because her eyebrows now had fallen
And her cheekbones looked so big
And the color of hair dye they had chosen, 
Looked astoundingly like a wig.

So what's the moral of the story?  
Do you really have to ask?  
The next time you want to make a change... 
Take some time and just relax.

Then ask yourself what might happen
If it doesn't turn out the way you want it to,
Are you prepared to face "the face"
That's a whole new different you?
