She Isn't like all the others

She Isn't like all the others

A Poem by Shimae Parks
"

I wanted to take my audience into a world of perception, how woman now a days have to be beautified just to be excepted as being beautiful

"
She isn't like the others 
I assume she is different because of how she acts
But can acting be deceiving? 
What would someone like her be like if she isn't like the others?
Maybe her hair would be different 
or her eyes would be different 
possibly glistening like the moon rippling against the seashore
she has to be different I imagine that she is 
well mannered with a grin of beauty not like those
others whose grins would shame to look directly into their mouths
as though they had food stuck in between their teethes
NO..NO.. she has to be perfect not like any other
she just has to be or she will be just like everyone else
that is what they say 
that is what they want
ask me again what does she look like
my answer is not what you are expecting
my answers are a lie
she is not a dream
she is standing in front of me
she's not pretty
her eyes don't glisten
her hair isn't grand 
and she isn't...
let me walk away from this mirror
wipe my tears and never fill the river
I was told I could be anything I wanted to be
but why when I look at me I'm still looking at me
and not who I want to be
my hair is dull
my eyes are just plain black
and my smile, my smile isn't what I expect
who tells a girl she has to be thin 
who tells a girl she has to look tall
who tells a girl she has to be what the T.V wants her to be
tell me I'am I the one acting or is it you that acts so rude to me
yes, everyday I wake up and put a ton of make up on
its to cover up the natural look that scares everyone
yes, everyday I wear fake nails and fake eyelashes and fake hair
can you tell me who wants to see them without them on
 I sure you..not me
the guessing of what I look like when I awake is no surprise that
I don't like what I see, that is why I am pretending to be...
someone else that is acting as me
