Favorite Quote:
God only knows the real you


Flawless skin

Under a thick layer of makeup

Sparking eyes filled with joy

Simply an act

Beautiful curly hair

It’s done at a salon

I see things others may not

Countless friends

Every boy chasing after you

That means you’re happy

Right?

In fact, it doesn’t mean that at all

Because you could be falling apart

Struggling with depression and anxiety

All of those countless “friends” won’t help

Looks can’t save you from this mental trap

And having a busy schedule means constant stress

Only making their mental cage worse

These are just a few of the things no one sees in a popular girl

Next time you think some popular kid is perfect take a step back and, after a while, you may begin to see their flaws. ( this poem was written on Oct. 1st, 2023)
