Pretty Little Face

simple little rhyme.

All I am is a pretty little face
Good for one night, good for a chase
I once had self esteem but it's been misplaced
Because all people like is my pretty little face...

Why can't I stop crying
There's nothing wrong with me
I feel like I lost everything
Like I'm eyeless but still I see

I stumble through this world
At an almost-graceful pace
Faltering at every heartache
Each one a slap to the face

I like to scream into the wind
Because it carries my words and fears
But not any natural force
Can rid me from all these tears

There's a hammer hitting against my head
Against my ears and against my eyes
Inflicting blunt pain where it isn't sharp
Signifying each single brutal lie

I'm lips, hips, and tits with a pretty little face
"You look better with your corset unlaced,"
That's all I am and will be to the human race
Lips, hips and tits with a pretty little face.

Author's Note

So today I learned that I'm manic depressive, and my mom chooses NOW, instead of five years ago, to tell me.

Thats not true..... it will never be squirt.
Womenand men are both degraded we can count on bouth sexes to be totall dumbfounded and hormone crazed.
But both sexes we can't count on atleast one out of each sex to come above all and be that one tha is there for you no matter now what.
To me you will never be,
Lips hips tits and a pretty face,
Your my sister,
Beautiful wonderful smart pretty tall awesome considerate non-s**t/non-whorish sister.

Dont you forget that squirt!

good one!!!

This is good and hard hitting. I agree with Bella Marie that would be cool to use the repetitive phrase if you want to spice it up. Either way, nice job.

Wow!
Honestly, that was well done. Pretty Damn good poem. I really like your voice in this piece.

Manic depressive? All I can say is it could be worse. I don't know how you feel about it all, and I'm not going to pretend like I do, but I'm sure you'll be fine.

[Bella-Marie]

It's such a heartbreaking poem, and the author's note even more so. Manic Depressive! Pretty heavy stuff.
To make the poem better I would use 'pretty little face' more often, to lace the stanzas together. Apart from that, well done!
