Be Yourself Poem by trina ryan

She stares into the mirror
She doesn't see herself just a stranger,
Is she hiding behind this person?
Or is she no longer existant?

Who is this she is seeing?
A face with make up plastered on,
Long eyelashes and pluckled eyebrows,
This isn't her at all just the girl they made her to be.

Before this person she changed into,
She was a plain and simple HAPPY girl,
Now all she is, is this fake they made her be.

Friends is all she asked for,
Not a makeover and a personality transplant,
Why should she change for them?
Would they ever change for her?

She doesn't see why they wont accept the simple girl she was,
Being the different girl isn't easy,
Everyone fighting over you to be the next victim to be made over,
Just to become someone you're not.

Be you're self, not anyone else,
Don't make yourself unhappy,
Just to please others.
