Skin Deep

Skin Deep

A Poem by Kitty Robinson
"

...........................

"

I'm not use to feeling this way,

Until I saw this girl today.

Her skin reminded me of the sun in the sky,

I look down at mine; so dead and so dry.

My faded brown skin could never compete,

Against her shiny surface and little white feet.

I am not proud of the way that I look,

I feel really ugly in this month's yearbook.

Shame, shame is all I can think,

I write "I'm so ugly" on my arm in black ink.

 

My mind is so shook with things that aren't true,

I'm trying my very best to look just like you.

Very plain to see... but well penned. Emotional... sounds like you needed to get this out. :) Good job.

People can easily relate to this. To me it doesn't sound like emotion that had just started "today" as it said in the first couple of lines, but the emotion seemed to grow deeper into something that had infested over time. So there's an unbalance in time to me. Of course, that could just be because of the way I was reading it. And also the blue font would have looked better with a brighter poem. However I did feel the emotion. It was very strong. Those are just some little things I thought could make it better. :) I enjoyed reading it :)
