The Perfect Girl Pt.2

The perfect girl, she had a laugh she despised, and hair she thinks looks like straw. She’s struggling with it all, her friends, her education, and the packaging to hold it all together was tearing at the seams. She was not perfect, and she had always tried. When ever she is near, she loses her smile, knowing it will never be as real a yours. When she is near, she she shows off her A, knowing she wouldn’t get another anytime soon. When she’s near, she’s petrified to be herself because that’s not what everyone thinks she should be. The perfect girl is poison to her spirit, without trying you show her everything she wishes she was.
You’re perfect to someone.

The Perfect Girl Pt.1

The perfect girl, she had a laugh of angles, and hair more perfectly placed than a dew drop on a spiders web. She had it all, the friends, the smarts, the money, and the perfect packaging to hold it all. She was perfect, the perfect poison. When ever she is near you hide your rough, unclear face to not be compared to her. When she is near you hide your papers so she can’t see the low grades. When she’s near, you’re afraid to be yourself because you know you’ll never be like her. The peppy perfect girl is poison to your spirit, without trying she crushes who you think you should be.
Don’t try to be society’s perfect, be your own perfect.

The Walls Of Your Heart

The world was breaking the gentle girl, all the while while telling her to build herself up. When she finally built a part of herself, society’s brutal words knocks down her walls of protection. So she took what she had left, and tried to protect her most important part, her heart. So the gentle girl goes through life, taking on the pain of people’s harsh blows, while keeping her heart in tact. But then she sees another, someone who was struggling like her. She saw straight through his face to his beautiful spirit. And she could feel her heart quicken at the sight of who he was. So she helps him up, and takes one of her shards off of her heart and placed it on his, to help build up what he really needed.
This is love, giving your heart’s protection to another and trusting they don’t abuse it.

Behind The Mask

Her life was nothing ordinary, it was extraordinary. Yet she hid behind a mask. A mask with a painted on smile, so no one could see the pain. She hid behind a mask with wide, attentive eyes to cover the tear staining her cheek. A mask of perfect makeup and hair to hide the cracks and brokenness left from others before. She hid behind a mask to fix what she’s been told is wrong about her, to please the crowd. To cover her true feelings, and to give the excuse that she’s fine. Her mask says that she doesn’t need help, but when you get close enough to see the real human behind the mask you can hear her shout for help.

The Book Of Life

Hi! This is the author, Hannah! I’d like to tell you a bit about what I will be posting. Life is full of drama and emotions, and they are never easy to understand. My writing here is about looking at all the angles of emotions and seeing the other side of the picture to understand them better. I love to write, and have learned much from this experience, and I hope you can enjoy these writings as much as I have!
