Covergirl and Beauty

This is a poem about beauty.

Covergirl is weird and strange,

They just want you to change,

Blue and purple sparkly eye shadow,

Blood-red lipstick and scented balms,

Beautiful greens like leaves on palms,

All the little, desperate girls,

Ruin themselves with make-up and pearls,

All they want is to be pretty,

But they destroy themselves with self pity,

Covergirl is weird and strange,

With their crazy neons and stupid colors,

Their models try to make you feel imperfect,

To try to make you to spend your money,

I don’t even think it’s funny,

Sure you can smell like strawberries or roses,

With all their lip balm and their poses,

But with Covergirl you will see,

Your outer “beauty” is not free,

Their “glamorous” golds all over your lids,

Covergirl just tells you fibs,

With Covergirl, you will want to change,

And they know, they are very strange,

Don’t you see what’s in their name,

“Cover” is right there, in burning flames,

They want to kill you, oh yes they do,

With their makeup, their reds and blues,

But don’t you see what’s already in you,

Your beauty is there and every see it too,

Yes every, all but you,

So don’t believe those pretty faces,

With all their Covergirl and their laces,

We all have beauty, yes we do,

We all have beauty, especially you

What do you think of it? I made this last year, keep that in mind. I wasn't a great writer last year, according to me.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! So AWESOME! I wasn't allowed to wear makeup until I was 15, and now I'm 16 and I still don't wear it! xD It's so much trouble and I'm just like, "Girl you pretty anyways." SO yeah, your poem. It's perfect and wonderful and amazing. I enjoyed it. The colors were also very nice. My favorite line was, "'Cover' is right there, in burning flames," I was just blown away. It's amazing. Girls don't need makeup and I agree with you whole heartedly! We don't need to hide who we really are!

[Savior of Time]

Thank you! I think that was my favorite line in it, too. I mean, SOME makeup is okay, but you don't need to have a lot. People need to show their real colors. :)

Oh my gosh! I really love this poem. You make some wonderful points about true beauty and CoverGirl. It made me realize about a lot of things that I have been pondering about for awhile. I always feel as if I'm ugly or something. I envy some girls at school and also models for their beauty. Though, some are major jerks! Like I've insisted to tell myself and others that, true beauty lies within. Everyone is beautiful. You just have to realize that with all of the lies and temptations of being told otherwise. Trying to accept ourself as beautiful is rather hard I must admit. I do have a low self-esteem, which makes accepting compliments harder than what it is to other girls. I have come to accept myself and now I can accept compliments with honor. No, I am not accepting being called beautiful for my face but for my heart that's valuable as gold or diamonds. I hope you do so too! We must accept ourselves! The thing about CoverGirl is that those models had to change atleast something about themself to try to be considered "perfect". The truth is, there's no such thing as perfect. We're all imperfect! Arrogance tends to take over some people's minds as they stride to be perfect everyday. You done an excellent job of the topic of true beauty! :)

Trust me, I know what it's like to tr to accept compliments; I have low self-esteem, too (some people would even say I'm depressing sometimes). I specifically read requested this to you because you said you would be ugly without make up. I'm glad you DID read this. Thank you for the review. :)

[Call_Me_Miss_Imperfect]

Oh thank you for sending the read request. The poem is definitely lovely and I loved reading it too! :)

[Savior of Time]

Thank you(:

You're welcome(:

I can see you're point for we live in a society where society deems perfection as changing your natural beauty by changing, or as they would say "inhancing" it with crazy wild make up that most normal people cant pull of (for example me) make up is great don't get me wrong, but to much make up is not needed

[Savior of Time]

i know right.

thanks

I don't know. Make-up is a big business. TV create images to be reached. I like the natural color of skin. Maybe sometime make-up is needed? I like your thoughts and logic in the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

You're very welcome, and thank you :D (I've drawn a few others as well that are in my photos)

This is a great poem and very true. This should be published in a magazine for teens to read because it's great message. 100/100

[Savior of Time]

thank you! I never though about my writing being "that good" before, that really boosts my confidence (I have a low self-esteem). Thank you! :)

[The Invisible Girl]

Your welcome!! :)

For someone who "wasn't a great writer at the time" I couldn't have said that about CG better myself. Trying to make yourself look perfect... I mean, don't people realize a good half of that is just airbrushing?

[Savior of Time]

Thank you, Rachel; that means a lot coming from you. I've read your writings and they're spectacular. I don't know why people don't see that about CG either. It's a little insane, but that's Earth for you.

[RachelReaper]

It really does make you wonder. Oh, and thank you for the compliment :) That was very kind of you
