Broken Girl

- [ ] I’m writing another poem, bout another broken girl
who puts on too much makeup 
and straightens out each curl
to make herself look pretty and normal, 
so to say,instead of of standing up to you, 
she’ll walk away
walk away from the pain you’ve caused 
you made her the person she is today

all because you couldn’t see through her flaws 
her flaws were not made to be mocked 
they were made to understand not everyone is perfect
to understand not everyone can live up to your dream
your dream of lies and half hearted goals 
if you’re reading this, you are beautiful.
don’t let anyone ever define you, 
you deserve to be happy

the curls give you a warm heart
makeup shows you can be judged and accept it
not standing up to someone can show your weakness
Which needs to be let go 
You can do this, I believe in you.
