Roni Al Poet Free verse

Vogue

The girls in the Vogue magazines
Their hair’s lucious, healthy, 
Thicker than I could ever imagine
Their smiles don’t seem fake
Their clothes sit on their body
Their dream body
The type that every girl on the internet is looking for
Working out for
Fasting for
So they could achieve such body goals

I stand in the mirror, brushing my hair
It’s thin and damaged
Flat like I could never imagine
My smile seems far too fake
My clothes don’t sit on my body as they should
I don’t have the dream body
That every girl on the internet is looking for
Working out for
Fasting for
So they could achieve such body goals

While the Vogue cover girls
Like as if they’re full of life
I look as if I’m dead inside
Which I truly, truly am
And I’ve grown tired of hiding it
