Teenage Girl Hell

13 years old  
Experiencing puberty and hormonal changes  
Braces, acne and child-like clothes  
I was new to this cruel society  
I loved me before I started living  
Suddenly  
I became self-conscious  
Aware of pretty girls  
Actresses, models, singers  
I wanted to look like them  
A new peculiar discovery I had made  
Makeup  
Some foreign tan liquid in a small bottle  
Covers up flaws on my face and makes my skin tan?  
Brilliant!  
A little wand dipped in a dark mysterious black liquid  
Makes my eyelashes long and beautiful  
Amazing!  
Pink sparkles on my eyelids  
Thick drawn black lines around my eyes  
I became a product of this society  
 
15 years old  
New clothes  
“Hotter clothes”  
But most importantly  
Boys  
I had to be pretty for boys  
Obsessive behavior  
Are my boobs too small?  
Butt too flat?  
Hair needs to look perfect  
I want attention from a boy  
I was a scavenger for a boy  
I wanted to feel special and pretty  
I needed a boy  
 
17 years old  
I was aware of what makeup could do  
I was aware of what my womanly body could do  
The effect any teenage girl could have on the male brain  
I figured out how to make other girls jealous  
I knew how to get attention  
I was finally the girl I dreamed to be  
I flaunted my looks  
Experimented and learned new things  
Lived and loved being a crazy teenage girl  
 
Now  
This is wrong  
We are nothing but brainwashed teenage girls  
We eat the words “beautiful”, “skinny”, and “sexy” for breakfast  
This society teaches us all of the wrong values  
Our beautiful imaginations do not matter  
This society only cares about looks and popularity  
Boys like our bodies but not our hearts and minds
  
Go beyond parties and good looks  
Deep into your mind  
Find your dreams and goals again  
Be passionate about your old hobbies and interests  
Become a human being again  
In this society  
We are living nothing but a teenage girl hell
