an evening gown
a perfect night
dinner with friends
on a star filled night
you in your tux
so perfect in public
we fit like a puzzle
but when we get home
it isn't so great
we don't even fight
you don't even look at me
you go straight to bed
or to the phone
calling your girls
to keep you company
i do what you say
stand there
be pretty
shut up
just smile
but i'm still
not good enough
pretty enough
smart enough
skinny enough
so off to the bathroom
i retreat
to throw up the dinner
i didn't eat
hoping that one day
you'll look at me
and smile
when no one is around
and i wont have to cry at night
and kill myself
just to be beautiful
in your eyes

Love this poem, it was really good and it'd the most different point of view I have gotten so far for this picture! That's what I was looking for, for the most part. You could be the winner, plz, no hopes up, still judging, just letting you know how much I like it!!
