See that girl?
Isn't she lovely?
Isn't she perfect?
Isn't she the one we all want to be?
But did you know,
That she's not all that she's cracked up to be?
She rises with the sun,
And applies her mask
in the morning,
To face every day.
Did you know that she's all fake?
Her nails are pink,
But they're not really.
She owns each brand,
But she can't afford it.
She wears those clothes,
But they're not her.
Her hair has curls,
But there not hers.
She acts so confident,
But inside she's shaking.
She acts so impeccable,
But inside she's breaking.
She doesn't know what
to do anymore.
But, how can someone so in place
Be so lost within the world?

Jackie, I love this poem. I like the part where you say "she acts so confindent, but inside she's she shaking, she acts so impeccable, but inside she is breaking." YOU should enter this somewhere instead of YOU telling me to do so. This is really good and very well done. Your poems are more planned out than mine... I just write and write and whatever goes into my head goes onto the paper. I love that about your work and how you edit it while I just leave it. This is a wonderful peace and very well done.
I love you:
~Jade~
