broken girl

it hurts me too

she tugs at the bulk around her middle

and wonders how other girls can have so little

she smears sticky goo across her face

so she can be pretty, and find her place

she wakes up early to construct her curls

so she might be more like other girls

they can be so tough they can be so mean

you dont understand, they aren't what they seem

her sweet-as-sugar friend since third grade

you wouldn't believe what she went and said!

she called her a boy, said she was a s**t

and even the toughest girls have to say, "enough!"

i can act badass, a tomboy with no feelings, strong

but things get to me, i can only take it for so long

and sometimes all the comforting words in the world

will never be enough to repair a broken girl

So sad what kids do to each other. Mostly to hide the insecurity they have buried so deep inside. Enjoyed reading.
