Stains and Stories

Covergirl

She just wants to believe she's beautiful ,

Even when they try to cover up her imperfections,

She wants to embrace her body,

But they give her a diet to follow,

She dreams of being a covergirl ,

So she starves ,

"Beauty is pain . A little of it is necessary" She says,

Her eyes are blinded,

"The surface that sparkles is the true gem " Is what she now believed ,

She covers up her pain in layers of foundation,

And misty fumes that make her dizzy,

At times, she rejects,

Her misled mind replies, "You don't want to look like a troll , do you?"

Her mirror is stained ,

For she can't see the true beauty in her,

Of what she is , it's more than just a beautiful face ,

She should replace the mirror ,

To see clearer ,

She should remove the blindfold,

To realize ,

She has scars, wounds and imperfections ,

Yet , she is beautiful .
