What about Me

by orange_4_m - Sagittarius

I wish I could just be
     the perfect girl you want
   the kind you see in magazines...
 but, then, what about
                     me?

Makeup may hide physical flaws
     but inside you may be
   so imperfect, bruised and all
 stumbling. and about to
                       fall.

And knee-high boots will only get you so far.
     it wont matter when your older
   how much dough you flash, what kind of car
 that just wont matter at
                        all.

You stare at them, but just glance at me.
     I feel so unimportant 
   Why couldnt I be
 On the face of every magazine,
   skinny and tall, everyone in awe of me,
 But then again, Inside, theyd never see.
   You'll never know the real
                            me.
