I see a girl
She is skinny
She wraps her arms around her flat stomach
As if she were giving herself a hug
Her hair is black
It matches her nails
And the thick line of eyeiner, surrouding her eyesThe girl is pretty
But she is sad
You can see it in her face
Hiding under the makeup
She is sad
And she is scared
But you don't know it
Only I can tell
Because the girl I see...
is me

Those who say it can&#039;t be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

I luv it. You can try adding more description and try seperating them into stanzas.

Different people like poetry different ways.  Me?  I think it is great, just the way it is.

you could maybe explain what you see behind her eyes, or what her expression seems to be saying maybe :)

its a very pretty poem. The ending was fantastic, but i feel it was more of a physical description of someone id like to hear more about :)

This was good, I only have one criticism:
