She puts on her makeup face
and styles her hair
so none of it
is out of place
She acts calm and collected
but if you looked inside
you would see
she is very disconnected
She lettered in dance team
about a year ago
but now that her dad left
her grades have dropped so low
She has friends and that boy at school
but he just wants her body
and she doesn't get
that that's not cool
She hides it pretty well
wouldn't you say
the only way you would know
is if she would ever tell
She hides it inside
because she doesn't have
anyone in whom
she can truly confide
There are few people she doesn't know
but the one who can save her
the one who matters the most
is Jesus, he loves her so
So if you ever see these girls
they wear a lot of makeup
with perfect hair
and never any curls
Don't be so quick to judge them
there is a God and
He really really
loves them
He may just want you
to reach out and help
and despite their shallow surface
he loves them too
Because God gives us so much grace
he can help you
to break through and find the girl
behind the makeup face

this is about a girl that sits next to me in science class, so just to tell you part of it is made up kind of like the part about her dad leaving and that boy at school, those parts are made up. All she told me was her grades were low cause of family troubles and stuff. But she did letter in dance team. So yeah i suppose if you could pray for her that would be great. Originally, when i thought of this it was more of a song at a fast paced beat and it sounded better that way but i just put it on here as a poem. So it may sound kind of weird.

GREAT!!
WOW my darling! this was great. I mean I loved every line of it. How dare you think down on yourself!. Honestly Some stanzas were really tear jerking. I especially liked the stanzas:
She hides it inside
because she doesn't have
anyone in whom
she can truly confide
I felt like this really...for a long time. I stopped feeling it about 6 months ago...damn how time flies. Oh yes before I forget I thank you for your comment on my poem Mystery. I appriciate it...I really do because really you're the only one who takes the time to read my poems. Perhaps they're crap? Anyways...I also like the stanza:
Because God gives us so much grace
he can help you
to break through and find the girl
behind the makeup face
I like the word choice in tghis stanze and how you...rhymed it. I couldnt think of the word. But you did an all around lovely job on this piece. Keep it up. -
for now i'll just say her first name which is Laura, and thanks for commenting on this. lol i didn't think it was that good.
