Fake, vein, filtered, a fraud,
Mirrors and make up, clogging her pours
Perception of FAKE
Is the wrong concept to take
Six inch makeup gives her
CONFIDENCE to get through the day
Too fat, too skinny,
Split ends and ungroomed
Ripped clothes and run down,
Cant she afford new shoes?!
Life can be a graft,
A struggle just to wake
Simply getting dressed,
a positive step to take
Her baby scrykes,
Her kids will fight
Explosion of deviance,
Shes not raising them right!!
Testing boundaries
Are kids daily goals,
Dont you think there won’t be
CONSEQUENCES when they get home!
TO THE GIRL IN THE MIRROR
I see YOU
Beautiful and REAL
TO THE GIRL WHO GOT OUT OF BED
I see YOU
SURVIVING all your days ahead
TO THE WOMAN RISING ABOVE PERCEPTIONS, HOW TO RAISE KIDS RIGHT
I see YOU
You got this, your doing MORE than just fine!!

Thank you, I’m glad you liked it.
I did indeed my friend.... N
Thanks for posting MAXINE : What you say is so so true ! Our perception of PEOPLE is never the REALITY : because of our misconceptions and prejudices ! GOD does not look on OUTWARD APPEARANCES ~ Too much makeup - Figure - Bad hair day - Ill clad and shod - unable to control her children etc etc ! GOD looks on the inner-person ~ GOD looks on the HEART and so should we ! Thanks for caring & sharing !
Blessings & Peace & Love
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thank you both, I’m happy you guys enjoyed it.
In our life we are tested and rightly so, without those experiences we would never learn and without that knowledge you would never have become the wonderful person you are now.
This is such a kind response Gold, thank you so much.
Great to come across something original in both content and format - great read.
Thank you Michael, I’m glad you liked the read, I’m enjoying catching up on yours also.
Powerfully expressed and the plight of many young women and how society comments on them in negative annoying ways. One shouldn't care less, be carefree about their looks and comments, just ignore them and fly breezily as if they don't exist. Soon they will know they don't make a dent on you. You are pretty from what we see so imagine all the real ugly women in the world , I tell everyone to look those below you, they are surviving ok. Not everyone has to look a beauty pageant, there are other areas and skills for women not just the looks department gahh. So kudos for your creative awesome poem!
Aw thank you, I appreciate such a lovely response, you are right, I believe that beauty lies within any way, if only the rest of the world can see that also.
Good write Maxine. Yes - we can't know, we can't say, we can't judge, of other's situations. We don't even know people in the street or town, unless we bump into a friend or relative there.
Exactly!! Thank you Orchidee, appreciate the lovely comments.
You have so poetically defined the trials and tribulations of life. A masterpiece of originality, great depth
Thank you so much Suresh, much appreciated.

Perceptions sometimes we can be misled by them.
Keep writing FineB
