Pretty, Skinny Girls Poem


All girls could think about is wanting to be pretty
some grow up thinking the only way they are going to be pretty is by
being skinny to show off their bodies and try to catch other boys attention by showing off their so called “features”

Does nobody else realize that this is exactly what has caused depression and somehow social anxiety?
Girls can’t expose themselves out in the open because they want to look a certain way but they can’t.

They think they can’t dress the way they want to because they won’t fit in with the other “Pretty,Skinny girls”.

“But let me just stuff a little bit more”
Still feel insecure.
Those boys don’t care
they know they are fake
Tears roll down your face you have to learn the hard way.

What has this world come to?
Are we all going to decide what we are going to look like based off of models on TV?
Rather than looking like who we really are?

It’s okay to want to be pretty
We all have complained about the way we look, the way our bodies are shaped
But never realize how sometimes the most beautiful thing is to be yourself.

  2. Your use of interior monologue and questions added a lot of emotion and clarity to your poem. It made it a lot more relatable and enjoyable to read. Your line "They think they can’t dress the way they want to because they won’t fit in with the other “Pretty,Skinny girls”." was very powerful and added to the poem.
