Skinny, Beauty, Love <br />Teenage struggles are those <br />That parents do not see <br />A teenage girl has a million <br />Things on her mind everyday <br />Trying to be like those skinny models <br />Trying to be beautiful like the stars <br />Trying to find true love like in a movie <br />No one sees those small details <br />Parents don't realize it <br />They think they're young <br />What struggles could they possibly have <br />But if they stopped working for a second <br />And really looked at their child <br />They would see that under that smile <br />Lies a sadness so profound <br />That has been hidden for years <br />Locked in a cage <br />Waiting to be freed <br />But no one notices these struggles <br />A teenage girl is put through a lot <br />All she needs is for someone to care <br />To tell her she's beautiful <br />To say she means everything <br />And for her parents to stop <br />Look at their daughter <br />And say I LOVE YOU<br /><br />Damaris Paz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/teenage-struggles/
