Pretty Perfection Poem by Marijke McKinney

Pretty Perfection



Modern girl, so unsure
Wearing yourself out
With this expectation
Of a pretty perfection

The lights dim
Your mascara drips
Your hands scratch
The nail polish chips

Luminous eyes
Red and tired
Bare knees cold
White like ghosts

Morning time
Make up, fashion
The kids will love me
You pretty perfection
