Description
EDIT: It has been brought to my attention by a commenter that the 'randomly placed apostrophes' were throwing off the flow.
So I removed em. THERE WILL BE NO PUNCUATION. This will be a continueing trend throughout the rest of my poetry. I've seen the light and old habits die hard.

Poem about people acting older than they are, or wanting to be older, not taking the time to enjoy themselves while they're what they are. =]

Some guys even like no makeup at all. c:
It's kind of sad how much the standards have changed.. so many beautiful people put on display everywhere, a lot of them fake or injuring themselves to look that pretty. It really hurts the girls who look up to those models, they want to look just like that instead of seeing that they are beautiful the way they are. So they put on this face to show the world.. but it isn't real. It's unfortunate, but I think a lot of it also has to do with the parenting,I know plenty of adults who do the same thing to be "beautiful," or "ageless," and little do they know, they can be hurting their daughters. For me.. I was taught that nodody "needs" to wear make up, yes it can make you prettier, but you can lose yourself in it and become someone you're not, you are beautiful just the way you are.
I agree with you on accent makeup, light is best, and I also love the NATURAL look. c: I almost never wear any, mostly just eye makeup, maybe a little lipgloss. Just colors that accent what I have, because I'm very blessed to have what I have. <3
You can only hope that those girls will grow out of it with time.

You do realize that this could be a perfect, 90s-style rap.
Anyway, I love this poem and your "visual poem" style in general, and the colors and visuals for it are really what blew me away. So unique!

Love it; however, I don't understand how the apostrophes were "randomly" placed. They were exactly where they were supposed to be! It's not like you randomly spliced a word, e.g., wrote something like "concl'usion." Now *that* would be random. XD

This made me smile, and I'll take its advice. This is a really great poem; a perfect message to the people, especially teens who keep wanting to grow up into adulthood. Awesome work!

I think with some practice and a little more flow to your poems, you could end up doing some really good work.

I'd like to stay a kid forever. But hey, arent we all children on the inside?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ain't that the truth. I never wanna forget what it's like to be a kid. I'm glad to be a teenager but some days I long for those nights staying up late with my dad to watch 'scary shows' like Truth or Scare and hide behind him when the dramazations started. Or when the world seemed to innocent and beautiful...I miss those days but I welcome the new days too.

I actually don't get how apostrophes would throw off a flow...It makes it look a little dumb without them, to be frank haha They're not commas or periods which actually do mark the flow of a sentence. Apostrophes don't change the pronunciation or anything..
Don't get me wrong, I actually love the style of this and the colors and the poem itself!

I try to tell this to my friends. They try to act and be and grown up, and they miss out on having a fun childhood.

Thank you for writing this. The problem with our generation is that we tried to grow up to fast.
I miss those days just playing and not having to worry about anything.
