Beauty

Brushing her hair a thousand times a day

Re-applying make-up every two hours

Changing clothes everytime she gets a chance to go home

Wearing bras that push up her breasts

Pants that make her a*s look plumper

She does anything and everything to look sexy

Only to never realize she's perfect

Perfect without all that

Under all that make-up is her beautiful skin

That even Greek Gods would want

Her hair it looks better a little messy

Makes her look human

She is just too pretty to have to show off

Her breasts and a*s to get attention

Too bad she will never figure that out herself

She is too stubborn

And only sees ugly when she looks in the mirror with nothing on

Unless, oh unless she finds that man

Just that one, who makes her put down the brush

Tells her she can't get up before him to put make-up on

To tell her she is beautiful in every way

And shows her he means it everyday

But alas, until that day, we should pray

For until he comes and shows her,

Her beauty divine

She will see nothing but ugly

very nice, i see this in a lot of people, brushing till it's right but it will never be. just about driving your self in sane trying to be perfect in every way. but fails in her own mind. so strong so true.
thank you

Wonderfully put and poignant. This girl is a representation of other girls nowadays who cover themselves with these expensive makeup that makes them look like little w****s. There's no beauty if you aren't pure inside because only then can you show how beautiful you are. Its not the outer appearance its inside.

This is a wonderful piec about the issue that we encounter when we put so much emphasis on how we feel about ourselves through the approval of others. It's a universal theme that has been nice put forth through the eyes of a young girl. Nice job here.

this is really good, and kind of sad that she doesn't see herself for what she truly is with out the makeup. you did a really good job.

This is a pet peeve of mine, but 'to' should be 'too'.
Other than that(and trust me, it didn't ruin the poem for me at all), the poem was beautiful and made me feel slightly better about myself ^^.

Interesting as I was just writing something related to beauty also. Society has all of these standards for us and we want to please others and look our best. Wish we would get to that place where we love ourselves just the way we are.
