Painful Realizations

little girl, naive and sweet playing with the pretty doll still believing you can compete in beauty's brutal brawl but your hair isn't blonde sadly, your eyes are brown how could society be fond of a girl without a beauty crown? look at the other girls their big bright eyes and bouncing curls too soon you'll realize they have more value still dreaming of true love? silly little you you're not what boys dream of now you're grown and married reality has taken hold childhood fantasies all buried lady, now you're just old your husband loves the whore up there on the screen you can't pretend anymore you'll never be a beauty queen

Wow!!!! Christy, I didn't expect that to come screaming through at the end. It is a sad world that leads people to believe that we should all look like the models in print and on TV. And what is really sad, the true beauty of a person is on the inside, not outward appearances. This one hit hard, nicely done and definitely a message to be told.
