To pop or not to pop


To pop or not to pop: that is the question;

Whether ‘tis smarter to let seen rest

O’er they cheeks chin; forehead; nose

The black, White-headed mountains on thy dignity

Or to take phalanges full of germs and the like

and press the tips around thy soft parts? To infect:

to cure;

No cover?, and by a pop to say thee stopped

the genetical structures that cause thy to have this form of disease all over thee

Heart-ache, lack of fiber, lack of green vegetation

Lack of sleep; Rest

yet they shan’t complain

For complaining may be equaled with insecurity

And thy beauty may be ignored once and

Forever since most believe what one unveils

And let the popping leave permanent scars

They shall live like a warrior after battle

Forever. Unforgetful of the ulcers eroding on thy face

Volcanos; hence their perseverance to re remember’d

Explode; Look’d in the mirror; and wonder’d

How one will again believe

I am beautiful?
