Beauty Queen

Pushed into Perfection 
The idea and concept 
Princess and Pageant 
She does not do it for 
the praise or for the 
attention, she does it 
to make herself feel 
Worse.
They would
never guess that behind
the crown and the make-up 
a depressed girl waits for the 
world to hold some kind of a
meaning that is deeper than 
how everything seems to be.
She is so far from them 
Out of reach and out of 
touch.
No one can relate.
Especially not those girls
who instantly feel beautiful
and content when they 
put on a damn evening 
gown or bikini top.

Her insecurity shows with 
every step and in every 
word spoken.
Rich parents, the perfect home
As if it is a label she must 
carry everywhere she walks
A heavy burden
too much to live up to
The expectation of 
laughs and smiles
Talent and self-worth
Rich Beauty you must
succeed no matter what
the costs of perfection are.
As they call her name she 
plasters on another fake 
smile that symbolizes 
deceitfulness 
In her mind, she is alone,
so she seemingly screams
for no apparent reason, 
what they call "acting out"
is the only way for her to 
tell them, to show them 
just how sick and sad
she really is.
