So perfect?

Her life is a rainbow
The everlasting song
Family and friends, she'd die for
Such a pretty face, so young
With beautiful eyes of blue
Newly Dressed hair and flawless makeup
Her gorgeous clothes
Prince Charming is true to her
But is she so perfect?
 

Her life may be a rainbow but where’s the pot of gold? She has searched all her life and never found it.
An everlasting song maybe, but a song of sorrow and worry, where’s the good in that?
She may love her family and friends but she can’t talk to them, that’s impossible. 
Her beauty is only skin deep, inside she cries for help, for someone she can relate to.
Are her eyes beautiful at night when they’re tear filled and lonely?
Hair and makeup make her look like she cares, did you fall for it?
Notice the long sleeves to cover her scars? Scars that she has given herself, scars that she deserves.
Yes she has found her Prince Charming but a thousand miles still lie between them and a thousand people.
So perfect?

I liked the format here. It makes you want to be more in tune and look past the surface of everyone.

ouch...
wow, that was good. i'm afraid to say i know so many people like that, except perhaps without the cutting. relatable, well worded.

A fantastic write, such a pleasure to read your poetry.

Love the twist. Every story has two sides, and kudos for you for turning a cliche into a thoughtful piece. As authors say, people judge the book by the cover... when they have no idea what lies beneath.


Well-done.
