The Porcelain Girls

Porcelain girls;  with heart shaped lips and round, made up eyes, slender bodies and hair that never seems out of place.

Porcelain girls, that look so confident and perfect.

Porcelain girls, that you want to be like

But if you looked a little closer, you would see that their Rimmel lips are only smiling on the outside.

For behind their eyes is a world of pain and anguish, just like yours.

They walk around with such confidence to trick themselves into thinking that they are confident.

And their make-up is a mask to the outside world to deceive them into thinking that their lives are as pretty as their faces

But when they get home and take off their masks, they break down in front of the mirror, just like you do.

And if you look even closer you can see the tiny cracks in the porcelain that are forming in place of their paint chip smiles. Very nice.

Wow very fantastic! I like how you convey that no matter what a girl looks like on the outside, we are all the same on the inside

I just love how you write from the heart.Just because someone looks like they have it all does'nt mean they do.
