Hiding Under Your Makeup.

Stare at me, eyes fixed on my body,
My face observed by souls.
Judge me, judge me like a book,
I haven't reached your stupid goals.

My skin isn't that of an orange,
Nor are my eyes smothered in black.
Yet that's not normal; I don't fit in,
So I show everyone I know my back.

Why is it me that's different,
For basically being me?
I know I'm not pretty,
In fact I'm no natural beauty.

But the point I want to make,
Is that you can't hide away.
Deep inside I can see you, The real you; what else can I say?

You're not running away from me,
Or as a matter of fact anyone
It's just you against yourself,
Putting make up on, slapping it on.........

If on the outside you can't see yourself,
Then your insides are cold at the core.
Look in the mirror, take a deep breathe
And face that you can't hide away anymore.

Just some naive teenage girl writing poems with no confidence... O_o Ed sheeran, the hunger games, all time low, the midnight beast and other stuff is basically my life. Ps I'm sorry I'm not good at being sociable. :)

Fake

I look at myself in the mirror. So many flaws so many errors. The person staring back at me isn't even me. It's someone different,mean and ugly. I didn't know that it would be this true.

Perfect Imperfection

I've been thinking about perfection. That stereotype we all see. Day after day. There are those people who. Strive in vain to look exactly like models. Wasting their lives away.

What Does It Make Me?

The mirror shone before me, highlighting my every flaw. My tears run even when it's gone, and I can't help but turn away. They say that 77% girls think their ugly.

Carnival Mirror

In my dream I'm sitting in a room, The claustrophobic walls resemble a tomb, For as far as I can see there is no door, So I sit aimlessly on the concrete floor, In the deafening silence I have room...

I Am Not My Hair

I get told that I have "good" hair because of its texture and length etc... Now I think I'm supposed to gush pleasure at these compliments but to be honest it kind of annoys me.
