Costumed

Tabloids and television help her strive.
She needs to be more than the perfect wife.
Incoming, outgoing trends she follows,
And Prozac to mask her hidden sorrow.
Her collagen lips and silicone chest
Seem to resemble those of all the rest.
She depends on income made by her man,
There is never a bad time for a tan
Or to visit salons and shop the mall.
Manicures, pedicures; she needs them all.
Bleached blonde, Brazilian wax; the perfect pair,
Only until she drops the kids at day-care.
Her life is defined by brand names galore,
All the fashions she pretends to adore.
But then the time comes for her young children.
Their lives are led by what she has chosen.
She sees herself as the most attractive;
Narcissism, she can well outlive.
Keeping up with the rest of the pack now
She can always make the people raise their brows.
