Self-delusion

Self-delusion

Written 2023-10-26

You think you are so young and still good-looking?

But you've already gained too much weight

'Cause you're in the kitchen and you're always cooking,

And communication with you is a huge freight

You used to be the heroine of a great plot,

But your chest sagged like a spaniel's ears.

You wear glasses because you read a lot

Or are you looking for new cavaliers?

You keep believing you still look so fancy,

What are you trying to convince the other!

But reality with your dreams is in discrepancy,

And at your age it's time to be a mother.

It's time to look in the mirror,

To avoid your fatal error.
