a poem by neko-chan. please be nice.

hi everyone! i have one of my poems i promised to show you people, but i don't think it's very good, so please be nice! >.<  ok here it is:
She looked through the glass

Studying the person who stared back at her

She blinked owlishly, cocking her head in perplexity

This girl had changed, changed almost too much to recognize


Gone were the colorful t-shirts, the well-worn sneakers

Gone was the slightly frizzy brown hair

just long enough to put in a ponytail

All gone...


In their places were candy-colored sweaters, designer skinny jeans

Shoulder-length, straight blonde hair framed a face

whose freckles were neatly concealed by foundation

Gone was the tattered black backpack, in its place a pink purse


She looked through the glass

Remembering seeing the girl before

Sitting in the lunchroom, laughing with her friends

Crying alone, the ‘friends’ nowhere in sight

Smiling bravely, striding out to meet the world

Laughing in the arms of one boy one night

Smiling and snuggling close to another the next

Changed

She remembered...

Seeing the girl before she changed

Smiling, happy to be with her one best friend

Her one true friend

Reaching out, crying, when that friend was gone


She saw

The glimmery pink lipgloss, the tight pink sweater

denim miniskirt, black leggings and Uggs

Bag carefully carelessly over one shoulder


A tear left the girl’s eye

For what was lost, what would never be


She saw one on the other girl’s face too


And realized


The glass was a mirror...


i'll probably post another soon... i have like three
