Invisible MonstersA Poem by Joshua J. CertainShe says If I can't be beautiful I want to be invisible Lovely girl retiring into her skin Once surrounded in a world of super models Now seeing the invisible monsters She don't know who to hate so she begans to hate herself Paint the face with all the new products on sale She is becoming a monster of fashion retail She wants a make over She needs a makeover "This makeover would make piercing and tattoos and brandings look so lame, all those little fashion revolts so safe that they themselves only become fashionable. Those little paper tiger attempts to reject looking good that only end up reinforcing it." She tears apart pices over her face Shotgun to go away Just blows away the side skin Covered in burn scars She is the monster The monster she never wanted to be Crippled by scars of beauty Is this what a women is suppose to look like? The Magazine lie Of a perfect inperfection The magzine lie Hiding the scaple marks Tear away the bone muscle and ligament See what is meant to be seen An inner beauty Money can't buy personality But lets just pay no mind And listen to the media lie © 2011 Joshua J.
