She lets it fall
Watches its diamonds smash on the floor
Too exhausted to pick up the pieces
She sits on her bed
With a tiny piece of glass
Wishing she was dead

Shes only sweet sixteen
But she never really got the 'sweet'
Only glares in the mirror
At the girl she had become
Every definition of ugly stared her straight in the face
Every definition of broken
That was sending her insane

Christmas rolls around
Its a dead doll's christmas list
For Christmas I want
To be skinny
Can i see my ribs too?
And a prettier smile
Oh and to be beautiful

But no matter who she became
She hated herself all the same
And though she looked so pretty in photographs
That smile would never last
Past the flash
Past her critique
Past the girl
she wanted to be [comments] => 3 [counter] => 164 [topic] => 13 [informant] => amber_vonhorror [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Wow. Very well composed, not a spare word and no unravelling as poems about self and other loathing can do. Beauty may be skin deep but this find can be felt in the bones.

From start to finish I was entranced by the words you set down here.
Nothing wasted, everything in tune with what you were trying to convey.
If I was still young and cool (Im 40 so can't be considered either) I'd say it was "awesome !!"..
Great work
