The Real You
By: Ashley O’Hare
Gotta look like a model
Gotta look just like a doll
Gotta look unreal–
but be authentic all the while.
Don’t date around too much,
but don’t be such a prude.
Show some more skin,
but don’t look too nude.
Never let them see your bare face
Never show your undone hair
Never let your polish chip–
your clothes should never tear.
If you’re going to cry,
then you better cry pretty.
No one wants to see beyond the facade–
the real you is too gritty.
