Small empty
Eyes
With no
Sign
Of knowledge
Anywhere.
Layers and
Layers
Of makeup
Splashed her
Face.
You name it;
Eyeliner,
Mascara,
Eyeshadow:
Whatever
Will be
Seen on her
Small face.
...
I don't see
What the
Boys
See.
They may see
A beyond beautiful
[hot]
Girl
Who they
Prefer
To talk to.
A flirty
Friend
[girlfriend]
That would
Turn
Every head
Around.
But unfortunately,
When I begged to
Borrow their
Telescope,
They didn't
Bother
Sharing.
So honestly?
She's not
All they
Think
She is
[she's not pretty].

The author's comments:
I just wrote this when I was bored but it does connect to a real life situation. Let just say back in seventh grade, a table group in Social Studies wasn't fun... And also, this had bothered me. What's with boys nowadays??
Note: if you don't understand why I titled this [...where is it?], it supposed to represent not seeing the beauty of the subject.
