Beautiful face,
detailed with delicate features.
Her silky-shiny hair cascades against
the outline of her firm jaw.
She attracts so many,
amazed by her irresistable beauty.
They all want her,
and she grins because she knows it.
Always knowing what to say
and how to act
to keep them all over her.
She knows that her life will always be
just like her...
Perfect.
But look a little further,
and you will see that her beauty
is only skin deep.
On the inside,
she is ugly.
Stripped of all dignity,
she is a hollow statue:
shallow and fake.
Not a care in the world that surpasses her.
An artifical beauty
that will continue to fool people,
but she is only an illusion.
So now let me ask you this-
What is perfection?

Kel and Kim~Yeah I know that she knows that this poem is about her, but I really don't think anyone had 2 tell her that....

Al~Thank you for the reply. It IS sad when ppl can only play the part on the outside.

Hah..... yeah I pretty much thought you were describing yourself at first. Very nice picture, you have a very cheeky expression that I really find attractive, and a special glint in your eye that shows your poetic nature.

The poem is very good... I like what you outlined, how the person believes she is hideous on the inside but is perfect on the outside. Quite the interesting poem.

Hey everyone. Thank you for replying, and Allan, thank you for complimenting my pic. No, this poem is certainly not about me, lol. But thanks.

you have a talent with imagery it seems, this is another piece by you that i really like. i also really like the question that you put at the end, one of those we could discuss this forever questions

you did an awsome job on this, keep posting your beautiful poetry.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

But in honesty, I thought it was about you too

Untill I saw the hollow inside part
I know that you're not, your poems show it
keep it up

Well done vixen. I enjoyed this one immensely.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
