One big Lie

by Lyla   Sep 14, 2005


You look at any magazine today
And you see the people they proudly display
Tall skinny models
With long blond hair
They always look their best
So we just stop and stare
We wonder why were not like them
And then we will do anything to follow their trends
Spending thousands to get that nip and tuck
Buying dresses and jeans spending a lot of bucks
But that was their plan to get you to buy
Their products and clothes
You see its all a lie
Computer editing works like a charm
And the companies think it does no harm
But that girl who wants to be just like them
Will do anything even if it means
throwing up her food again
it isn't right
but we must stand and fight
for the right to be yourself
and not to listen to anybody else

    I absolutley agree. People must fight the urges to be someone they're not, for it could only harm themself.

    My favourite lines are:

    "But that girl who wants to be just like them,
    Will do anything even if it means throwing her food up again."

    The second line is a bit long, but I like the message it's giving.

    Very good topic to write about. alothough you could have made it a little better. some of the rhymes seemed forced and it was hard to keep a steady flow. anyways im givin you a 4/5

    "We wonder why were not like them"
    it should be "we're"

    "You see its all a lie"
    it should be "it's"

    In any case, this poem was pretty good. You got the message across, and I suppose that in this type of poem that is all that really matters. I think that if you were to try to improve this poem, however, you could do so by trying to consolidate the number of syllables per line in order to create a more definite rhythm. The rhyming worked out pretty well most of the time, it seemed to be very natural.
