Fountain of Flawless
Girls in magazines look flawless,
Boobs like plump yet they're push-up braless.
But me, no, I'm not going to lie.
I often look in the mirror and sigh.
I'm seventeen and people think that I'm twelve.
They question continuously yet continue to delve.
"Looking young is a blessing" friends and family have said.
To me (at this point) , it's something to die for and dread.
It lets me shock the world when I tell them my knowledge.
That I'm less than a year away from entering college.
I may not be able to go to R-rated movies alone,
But hey I could use that time to get me an ice cream cone.
Ice cream is irrelevant. I'm sorry, my mistake.
This is the crucial point I am trying to make:
Although sometimes I don't want to handle the truth,
I know I am flawless in the Fountain of Youth.
