tunnel vision and hollywood film
stars; i'll never be like them and i'll
never understand why they're so pretty
and why they're so skinny and how come
their hair and their eyes and their skin
look like fluorescent lights;

fake and alien,
that's what best
describes them


fix your attitude and
place your knees sdrawkcab as you look in the
mirror|rorrim

that lipstick won't match with
that mascara and neither will that blush
and those diamond earrings you got
after you pierced your ears with
sewing pins because you didn't have
the money to get them done by a
professional.

why can't i be perfect
(why can't perfect be me)

clementines taste almost as though
they were sharpies, now; i'm winding
d

and

     w
      n

like a jack in the box, and i'm turning
to plastic like the doll that i'll never
be unless i stop eating and i start giving
up on food and qui(e)t the urge for hunger;

(i have to die pretty
i have to die perfect
i have to die as the girl everyone liked)
Dedicated to all of the girls (& dudes!) who think that they aren't good enough & that they don't mean anything just because of their physical appearance.

I kind of feel bad writing this, but it's true, & lots of people worry about their weight, their looks, even the way their jewelry is laid out.
But I'm just going to say something: 

What matters is your health. That you're HEALTHY, not a rail.

Like fuck, I'll be honest, I worry about the way I look too. But I'm not gonna starve myself to achieve a flat stomach.
I'll have to start exercising & dieting.
So no. XD

And I understand why people want to be perfect. Some people are shut out from their friends & family, some don't think that they're worth anything, some think that they're failures.
Trust me, you're not.

Just know that you're not alone, & that you can always spam me if you're having a tough time.
Like I'm here. Half of the time.
(Studying & procrastinating take a long time, okay?)

ANYWAYS, prompt twenty-one (twenni wan) out of my thirty-one: Write a Poem

Hope you liked the poem. c:

Nicely done. :clap: Also....

"(i have to die pretty
i have to die perfect

Why is that so important? You know when you grow older,
you most likely won't feel the same about that.

Unless....

-_-

Nevermind......
