Society lies about beauty 

It's all floral and white glass 


Her eyes moving like water

Her nose so sloped you could ski down it perfectly 


She fit the scene 

People look down at her in awe

But she wants to cry 


Why don't I look like that?


She stares at the girl with hair so shiny, black and beautiful

Her lips the kind of strawberry shade of pink 


The more apparent it becomes to everyone

Society lies about beauty 


The author's comments:

This piece for me, is what being a teenage girl in this day in age is like. I wrote it on behalf of all the teenage girls who might relate to it in some way. Society has unrealistic expectations of what beauty is. I hope all my girls know that they are beautiful. Another person's beauty is not the absence of your own.
