Skinny

When did beautiful become skinny

everyone wants to be beautiful

why must we be skinny, small

to be called beautiful, pretty

teens unhappy with who

they are what they

look like.

Gone.

until they

are starved

to death, gone

children lives gone,

it’s the worlds fault..

why can’t they be happy

why can’t they be beautiful

why does pretty have to be skinny

Love the structure, it goes nicely with your poem. It's interesting that only the first line and "Gone" are the only ones capitalized. I like the questioning. Good Job. Take Care! Stay Strong! :)

Great topic. This percieves a lot of America's reasoning. It had great vocabulary and was easy to understand. I also liked the format. Great job I enjoyed it a lot and it made it past the first cut in the contest.
