Beauty is an ugly thing
Ridden with disease
How funny that this mirror
Can bring me to my knees
My stomachs far from perfect
My teeth aren't as straight as yours
I hide behind cosmetics
Mascara cant disguise my flaws
Mirror Mirror on the wall
You decide my fate
Take away my inner peace
Fill my world with hate
These beauty queens and bitches
These rabid fucking whores
Suck dry our society
Leeches without a cause
Harvest imperfections
Grim souls ready for the reap
Does anyone believe
Beauty is only skin deep?
All these little girls
Blonde hair, blue eyes, so sweet
Learning to spit on all the outcasts
Force the unsexy to defeat
And in this fucking war zone
Constant clawing for affection
Every shallow teenage tragedy
Is ruled by their reflection
Where nothing else matters
What hope is there for me?
Just another ugly girl
Buried by insecurity.

I've said this before on other entries, that I'm not into rhyming poetry, but damn! this has great flow, && everything is so true.
"Beauty is an ugly thing
Ridden with disease"
--such a powerful and true image.
bravo.

"And in this fucking war zone

really nice message in this!
It flowed pretty well, although I think it could be perceived more meaningful if it didn't rhyme ?? that's just my opinion though.
I loved this poem, and I hope you do so, so well in the contest!!

this is a very heartfelt poem, i share your views and often feel insecure about the way i look also. your rhyming is great, and i love the way you ended the poem. good luck in the contest!

that was me before now people think cause I have a hot bf I'm hot and I wish they wouldn't I liked it better when no one looked or cared. they hated me cause I dont wear make up I dont do my hair and I wear jeans so I don't have to shave all the time but who cares I am me and you are you

a poem for mean girls, hooray. the only part i would like to critisize is "Take away my inner peace/ Fill my world with hate" which to me seems like you're focusing more on complaining rather than describing the issues created by the "beauty queens." i think it's an important message, but the diction reminds me of an emo poem for some reason, which detracts from the flow of the rest of the poem.
my favorite part is "Grim souls ready for the reap," excellent play on words. also, the first four lines are great, they're a strong opening that sets the tone perfectly for the rest of the poem.

Wow, this was utterly amazingly awesome.
I LOVED:
"You decide my fate
Take away my inner peace
Fill my world with hate."
And I found this extremely funny:
"These beauty queens and bitches
These rabid fucking whores
Suck dry our society
Leeches without a cause."
Awesome write!!!
Best of luck!

his is a beautiful poem and dont ever think you are ugly. i agree that society is fucked up by all those...plastics but you dont have to be like them, look like them to be loved or liked. i do believe that beauty is skin deep. i always have. but dont be so quick to judge those blond hair blue eyed people. they cant help how they look...i cant help how i look lol. im blond haired and blue eyed. this is a beautiful poem and you have great points and so much emotion put into your poem. good luck in the contest and keep writing
Thankyou for Entering -
Wow... brutally honestly that is. The piece is overall amazing, just a few rhymes that could possibly be changed to make the poem read better... And on a side not, Beauty has nothing to do with the skin. Beauty is ONLY what's inside. If you're literally dying to be beautiful, then just try to be you. To me, plastic surgery is ugly, makeup is just a veil, your eyes are the doorways into your soul, and we all should be able to proudly just... be ourselves.
