Poem Commentary

I wrote this when I was having relationship problems and I started to wonder why some girls act the way they do.

She's just like other girls

Heard her crying

She needs help

Needs protection from herself

Craves attention but not too much

Nothing can please her

Nothing will

Emptiness is so hard to fill

 

she’s just like other girls

she’s just like other girls

self absorbed and broken hearted

all f**ked up and just retarded

she’s just like other girls

the American girl

the American girl

 

shops away her pain

cosmetics cover flaws

rationalization doesn’t exist

because she can’t buy it

has everything and more

but she’s still insecure

she can’t help it

because she can’t dream

you just can’t buy self esteem

 

she’s just like other girls

she’s just like other girls

self absorbed and broken hearted

all f**ked up and just retarded

she’s just like other girls

the American girl

the American girl

What a sad commentary on so many young girls! I think you hit the nail on the head, self esteem is sorely lacking in a world that values looks over all else. Impossible to live up to the standards set everywhere, t.v. magazines, movies, etc.

I basically just told the truth with that poem. It is truly sad what expectations are thrown upon younger women. It is truly sad that our society has changed a great deal due to consumerism at others expenses. Everyone has to be "perfect" there are surgeries to be perfect, diets, expensive clothes, etc. Our society is superficial and fake. I wish it were not like that but it is. Thank you for the comment.

thanks a lot yeah I didn't even know how to classify it I have a weird style of writing I write music as well. I have a lot of things written this is the first time anyone other than my close friends have seen it. Thanks for the comment.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
