Retinol Rant
when ‘ya
go and buy a jar
of cream
for yo face
and apply it at nighttime
like the directions say
and you expect to see a difference
in those lines under yo eyes
but wake up blinking and thinking
whoa … wait a minute
what!
WHAT THE L
this wrinkle cream
was supposed to fade the lines
not indent them into the skin
and multiply ‘em by 10
OVERNIGHT
I mean
really
REALLY
that lady with the great skin
on the tube
lied
SHE LIED
that jar of retinol she’s been religiously using fer three years
mighta made her skin smooth and wrinkle-free
but all it did fer me
was sear my skin
with scraping fork tracks
plowed under my eyes
like tire tracks on the beach
after it rains
I literally looked better
before
BEFORE
