Beauty (Rictametre)

by Jenni Marie   Feb 9, 2007


Beauty
Is not skin deep
Yet everyone tries to
Achieve that so called perfect look
Starving oneself, binging-it's all the same
Trying so damn hard to look great
When in reality
All this is fake
Beauty

    [[I don't think that's how you spell 'bining', but I'm not sure either.. I may be wrong.]]

    Beautifully said, my dear. Short, to the point, and perfect. You're a very talented writer. Keep up the excellent work.
