Flawless
Gawping at others flaws
Is more than just a trend
Words sharp like tigers claws
leave unseen wounds to tend
Is poor skin such a heinous crime?
Is fat really quite repulsive?
We all have many hills to climb
Yet we're set to self destructiveΒ
Glare at HER with a hairy chin
Smirk at THE pigeon chest
Recoil in horror, ITS far too thin
Look at THAT boy,Β in a dress!!!
Mutter underneath your breathΒ
Give your friend a nudge
"Look at THEM, must be on meth"
As if it's up to you to judge
Β
Stamp on those doing wellΒ
Drag HER if you must
You wouldn't want heads to swell
Now let THEM gather dust
Few of us are free from blame
even those devout
We all carry our own shame
Must it be pointed out?
Move focus onto others
maybe then, THEY won't see
What's hidden under covers
Are the faults I find in ME

thank you for readingΒ
Lorna xx
You can be free Lorna...it's as easy as this...
"I don't give a shit what people think..."
Works for me and when it doesn't...see above...x
Hahaha... thats the best way to be marion x
What aint false is most probably fake ........ you just nailed it Lorna x
Thank you Neville, I'm glad you liked this one..I'm just perusing your work now
lorna :) x
You are absolutely much more than merely welcome Lorna, my pleasure entirely :) x
Well you certainlyΒ delivered the poetry goods with this one Lorna, superb throughout and not a word wasted in your beat and flow.
A superb write and I see respected similarities and echo's in your writing with another outstanding poet(ess) on here and her good name is Lodigiana.Β
Thank you for writing something unique and with more than just a touch of class in its reality message and content.
A poem with poetry that doesn't sparkle but shines and to make one think on and refect.
Tanks again and fully deserved honours bestowed. x.
Thanks Shaun, I haven't been as prolific as I used to be on here and it's a massive compliment as I always enjoyed Lodigianas writing, I'll have to check out some of her recent work.
thanks again for reading
lorna :)Β
I resonate with the message of this poem. Society and social media has caused deep scars of issues for thousands of teens over the last few years. I for one, chose not to be involved. Isolated. It's a lose-lose. Even the perpetrators don't win. It seems like a perfect physiological brew that feeds on itself. Ahh you have me musing XD, Yep, definitely worth a follow in my opinion. Enjoyed
Thank you for reading, IΒ find that we all judge people so easily and even more so as the advances in social media scrutinize every aspect of our lives leading to the miss-informed idea that perfection is possible when we all know that this is not achievable and creates more and more anxiety disorders. People are feeling inadequate in everything that they do.
I could go on and on haha,Β
but i'm happy you got what I was trying to conveyΒ
Lorna x
Welcom back Lorna.Β This is so true ; you nailed it.Β
Thanks so much Leah,I'm happy to be back hope your well, I've missed you xxx
Just thought I'd revisit and read again Lorna.
For some poems in their writing and what they offer a reader are simply...
what your title states.π
Shaun :) xx
