I went all out
did my fingers and my feet
I even went on a shopping spree
I wanted to be
so pretty
my hair was so soft
I let it down for once
put some bronzer on my cheeks
looked like I was out in the sun
wore some nice clothes
a pretty pink lacy shirt
finished the outfit
with a short black skirt
I grew 2 inches
with my new black boots
decorated my ears
with some golden hoops
I got all done up
put some shimmer on my lips
I couldv'e spent all day
dreaming of his kiss
but when I found out he had let me down
my heart dropped to the ground
and bounced back into me
I couldn't even breathe
I thought that he cared
I thought I was loved
I guess thats what girls get
when they think too much
Now my hairs pulled back
natural colors on my cheeks
nails are short from biting
and I havent painted them in weeks
clothes are back to normal
casual and neat
I threw the boots in the closet
Now theres sneakers on my feet
took the hoops out
now my ears are bare
dont feel pretty
and I dont even care

Personally, I prefer the "casual" look...  I don't like girls to get all dressed up jus to try to impress me or whatnot...  Natural looking, not covered up by inches of makeup...  Anyway, I could feel the hurt in this piece...  Well written, I liked it.  Thanks for sharing.

I love the way this read. It was great how I could picture you getting all dressed up and then stripping yourslef again.
Ya know, I'm a girl that prefers the casual look as well. I've never worn make-up a day in my life (aside from lipstick) and I wear comfortable clothes. But I know exactly what it's like to want to impress a guy. But what I've learned is, I guy is going to like you for you. For they very rarley get all dressed up for us. Just food for thought.

Hey, wow, nice as poem.  I'l have to agree with Cowboy that casual is much better.  Being a teen myself I have been through this and I can relate.  I think that if someone dosn't like u for who u r when u feel most comfortable, then they really arn't worth it.  Just be who u r on the inside and that will show on the outside.

Great poem u rock!!!!

This flowed very well and I can really relate to it. Nicely done. I was once told that you should try and relate it to your audience/reader. Good job and keep writing.

My opinion the casual and natural look are ok, but thats not the point. Its taking the extra step to have a guy look at you and just be like "damn" knowing that his eyes are gonna be all yours. And getting that compliment that will boost your self esteem just a little bit more. This poem reminds of one night when I was with my ex, I got all dolled up to go to a wedding with him and all he was able to say (his exacts words about how I looked) "ok, I guess".

Im really glad that you shared this poem with us, I was able to relate to it soo much and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

You did an amazing job on this piece. You made it flow really nicely and your right, i definately related to it. I hate getting my hopes up because the higher the get the farther they can fall down if i get let down ya know? Ahh...but its all part of life and everything happens for a reason. Im sorry hun

Now I don’t want you to catch me
I want you to let me
