Plastic

Lined with blood red then fading into pink

Soft curved lashes, thick with black

Rosey shadows follow the bone

Gloss that blinds in the light

Sparkles, and glitter

Tell me who I am because you know I don’t know

Long silky strands

Skin smooth as glass

A body curved like a pear

Eyes dark as the night

Show me what I am because I cant see

Thin and stickly, pale and even

Unhealthy and praised, for what I am not

They applaud me for this plastic beauty

Apon a stage I can not hold

A life that is not mine, and yet I wish it to be

For all that it brings, I would take it back

To be real, and not plastic

Back to main
