Popular Girl
October 18, 2023
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)
