Through Her Blue Eyes

As she wakes up, to get to school She sees a girl in the foggy, glass mirror Wet blonde hair, blue eyes, her dad’s nose, her mom’s features… But in her mind she sees ugly, plain, average…. People tell her she’s gorgeous, stunning But she declines the compliments She gets on the scale And sees the digits to high And starts to cry She assumes people judge her From childhood mistakes Her friends tell her she’s skinny But they don’t see the blob forming When she sits She watches celebrities on TV Skinny, toned, perfect But none of them have a figure like her She barley watches what’s on the screen When she hears a voice “ God, your so ugly!” She ignores the voice and go finds her guy friends They start to pick and criticize her, But she doesn’t know how to stand up for herself She tries to brush it off But inside she’s ashamed The words of her guy friends keeps coming back Like an annoying bug She goes and finds her other friends, The girls are judging and picking her apart Saying treacherous, unpleasant words Feeling lousy, her confidence reaches such a negativity, She starts to believe everything they’ve said to her

Wow.... well first thing i have to say about this is YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! Sarah whats so wrong with average? Its unatural to be like the self starving ppl you see on TV. Guys can be brutal but i think its just because thats what guys do when they like a girl and dont know how to express it. Those (girl friends) are probably just jealous..... oh and Awesome expressive poem btw.
