Envious girl

by undying blusher   Jul 4, 2005


She envies her sister
She envies a stranger
She envies a neighbor
She envies her friend
What’s the reason for this envy?
Their beauty, of course.
She feels like nothing next to the others
They’re so beautiful
Just like their mothers
She does not have what they have
She was not given the gift of beauty
Natural beauty
Or any other kind
She can’t see how God finds this beautiful
This body
This face
These lips
These eyes
This smile
This frown
Where? Where is it?
Is beauty invisible?
God finds every man, every woman beautiful for they’re created in the image of Him
But the world changed everything
No longer is everyone beautiful
If they ever were
She’s ugly, he looks deformed, they’re too big, they’re too thin
Scarred, blemished, damaged goods
Why is she beautiful? Why not her?
What was wrong with her?
She envies for what she does not have
And may never contain
She does not possess the gift, the power, the privilege of beauty
It is such a shame
She can never be that perfect
No one’s perfect you say
She knows this all too well
But her feeling does not change
Nobody’s perfect but many are simply perfect enough
Perfect enough

    Shellshel,

    Your welcome. I'm glad to know you don't cut. That's odd, sleep cutting...but that's great you got help. :)

    At times I do feel this way. I do know that every person is beautiful...but thank you for the feedback. Much appreciated.

    hey thanks for the comments. i really like ur stuff especially this one. and thanks for pointing out my erros. and to let you know i don't cut. but i had a dream i did and i felt like i needed to. and the next morning i woke up and i had cut my arm in my sllep with a toothpick. i got help from my friends and family and no more sleep cutting.
    i hope this poem isn't about you.
    its really good but i hope you don't think this way about yuorself. because it doesn't matter what other people think about it matters what you think about yourself. and god made everyone beatuiful in there own way.
