Beauty Queen

Beauty Queen

I'd like to tell you a story
about a beauty queen
who's life wasn't as pretty
as she liked to make it seem

Walking around smiling
all day long
was her way of denying
her life was all wrong

Until that inevitable day
when she was finally falling to fast
yet still trying to live in the past
when in reality she's slowly fading away

Blindly destroying her family and friends
who selfishly helped her to mend
the broken dreams
of a broken beauty queen

Oh the tears she's cried over the years
but none of those tears
can hardly compare
to all the scars that she bares

Constantly wishing the end
would just come a little faster
cause she's spent all she could spend
and her whole worlds a disaster

    "good is good, and bad is bad, but you dont know which one you had"

    i dunno why. but this poem reminds me of that song by sheryl crow! well done! i'd just put in some commas if i were you, it would help put more emphasis on the emotion in the poem, but its still a good poem!
