So perfect on the outside (C)

by xxamberxx   Mar 18, 2006


Crystal green eyes
That sparkle in the light
Pearly white teeth
That shine all day and night

Such a unique dress sense
Such smooth and silky hair
Perfect skin without a flaw
No freckles here or there

Perfect looking nails
And perfect looking skin
But beyond Appearance
It seems she suffers deep within

You see underneath 20 minutes of make-up
And half an hour to get very long straight hair
20 minutes worth of nail varnish
Breath that ices up the air

12 minutes on the sun beds
And a perfect push up bra
Slimming jeans to make her ass look small
And photos taken from afar

Laughter when tears should be falling
And smiles when she wants to frown
People thinking that she's perfect
But this girl is very down

Beyond her Barbie doll expression
And her need to snort cocaine
Throwing up to make her skinny
And acting as though she's sane

This girl that I'm describing
Is what I used to be
But now I've changed for better
And discovered the real me

My hair is barely shoulder length
And my nails are pearly clear
My face has got the odd freckle
With out my make-up smears

My bum that on the chunky side
And without my heels I'm just 5'3
The push up bras have been removed
And my humble breasts a small 32c

My body that no longer starves
And my jeans that read UK size 10
I have realized that I am me
And I don't need to change for them

** People suffering from criticism, i have realized they are the ones with the problem if they cannot accept that we are not all the same**
