The Want of Perfect

by TheWorldFellNUWerentThere   Jan 7, 2009


* this isn't the best poem I wrote but it's what I'm feeling right now deep inside. I hope you guys can relate to it.

Can I ever be pretty;
having the perfect weight,
the beautiful eyes he'd love to look in,
and the all time winner perfect white smile.

Can I ever be calm;
holding my tongue when I'm mad,
never letting the tears fall,
and pretend everything's okay.

Can I ever have pride;
to walk amongst others,
holding up my head high,
and never let anything break me down.

I just want to be pretty,
Not the person who wears hearing aids
And the only time she dresses up
Is when she truly believes she's pretty.

Until I walk with the crowd of peers
And I begin to understand there are more people around me
Who are what I want to be
And they get it so easy.

It's hard to accept myself when I see myself in the mirror,
I wonder why I am who I am
And I wonder if my boyfriend really loves me
For who I truly am inside.

I just want to be pretty for once,
Be who I want to be
But reality slams into my face once more,
As the girl who's never going to be perfect.

    I think all of us can relate to this poem, and that we have all felt this way in some point of our life!
    This was my favourite part:
    Can I ever be calm;
    holding my tongue when I'm mad,

    Interesting piece, I loved how you expressed your dreams here perfectly. I sort of loved the fact that you repeated you want to be pretty, this stuck out to me because it seems as though that's really what you want. Of course we all want to be pretty and seem perfect, and have those beautiful eyes, ect. I can definatly see where you were coming frm in this poem, and I'm sure a lot of girls could relate.

    5/5.
