I'm Just Not Myself Anymore!!

As I'm growing older, remembering my life,
I've had a very peaceful one, and not much painful strife.
But now, it seems, I've had these dreams
Where nothing seems quite right...
I know I'm me, but I can't see the cause of all this fright.

I look into a mirror, and I know I'm seeing me,
But why are my reflective parts not where they ought to be?
I've always been quite normal, I'm NOT a beauty queen,
But now my nose is out of joint.........and my face turned green.

While I pondered over this, I saw that my jaw dropped,

Which really was quite difficult, because my eyes had popped!
Getting my mind back on track nearly blew my mind.
Because my head was in a whirl, I have loose lips, I find.

My nose is to the grindstone, my hair now stands on end.
My eyes just popped out of my head which caused my mind to bend.
I now see that my eyes have moved onto the BACK of my head
And so this hair-brained episode has filled my heart with dread.

Now my shoulder's to the wheel, and then my heart stands still.
Next it jumped into my throat...."heart-breaking", if you will.
Now I'm really broken-hearted, knowing it has dropped
I really lost my heart, you see, for it completely stopped.

All this rubber-necking really made me out of whack
And caused me some discomfort, patting myself on the back!
I had an upset stomach, and jumped out of my skin,
Causing me to pull a muscle, weakening my strong chin.

All this caused my spine to tingle......made me walk knock-kneed,

Flat-footed, foot-loose, pigeon-toed......it was weird, indeed
In trying to correct this mess, I worked hand over fist.
All the problems facing me made quite a quirky list.

I used my sticky fingers to attempt to reconstruct
Myself back to some normalcy.......a notion I soon chucked.
It took some firm arm-twisting to rebuild my self-esteem,
But this hair-raising and mind-bending chore was in my dream.

I awoke and realized the looking-glass was shattered.
I was really simply me, and that's what really mattered!
Even though I'd love to be a more attractive me
This is how God made me---just as I should be !
