Peacock Feathers

Wrote this in about twenty minutes. Just wanted to use the simile about peacock feathers :P

She has the blonde hair and beautiful eyes

Pretty words which are probably lies

Of course people see her, talk about her

But who will take the time to know her

 

For you see, it’s no easy task

Even her name maybe too much to ask

She’s fragile and her confidence is easy to knock

Her beauty is her weapon, like the feathers of a peacock

 

She’ll smile, giggle and flirt

And you’ll look down at the dirt

In embarrassment your face will burn red

But she’s gone, happy nothing bad was said

 

Despite this you think you have a shot

A real possible chance with a girl this hot

Meanwhile she goes home to cry, be safe and hide

Always to be pretty on the outside, undiscovered on the inside

This poem has an undeniable truth base.
I love how the title collaborates with the poem.
I am also female so I have seen this story in action.
This is very,VERY good.
A truthful poem is very hard to accomplish with a meaning.
But you perfected it.
Flawless Job!
