so cool.

i cant see my beautiful underneath. :/ i see my past, i see an image of myself, i see an image of others, i see reflection of those images on my nervous system - anxiety, fear. i see pain in my heart, im not chasing for the future though, im running from the past. either way theres something neat to your poem, keep writing. this is my kinda stuff.

I'm surprised someone would be offended over this. It's not like you said something that most people would consider offensive. If hair color is that much of a touchy subject, then these people are just a bunch of sad individuals. There are much more important things to get one's knickers in a bunch over.

Anyway, great poem.  'The devil refused my soul' is just brilliant; really describes how a person can feel when they realize that no matter what they do or say, they can never achieve the unreachable goal of 'beauty' if they're not born with it.  Just have to accept what you have I guess, and learn to be grateful for it.

f*ck them if this poem didn't flood their consciousness with nostalgia. God knows I've chased the ball in my younger days. Thanks for the beautiful words.

I never hated who I am or wanted to be someone else, although now that I'm older, I will eventually dye my hair blonde when I begin to grey. Just because it blends better. Not for a while, I hope.

Nice thoughts.

What a beautifully sad poem (I read it to a song called A Dying World...perhaps that made me more emotional D:!).
Epitomizes what goes on in a lot of girl's thoughts and hearts. And people will always get offended by these types of things - quite ridiculous in'it?

Well, I like it. I can't relate to it, since I've never tried to be anyone or anything I'm not. No skirts, no make up, no crazy hair.  I don't know why people are complaining about it. i see nothing wrong with it at all. I actually like it a lot.

Interesting and relatable. I don't really see the hair itself as the problem but more so the act of changing for reasons other than your own enjoyment.

An interesting poem! I feel sorry that you had to go through that :\

But you're a beautiful princess just the way you are!!!

Also. What IS with the hate? You said "beautiful blue hair" how do they take that to mean "ugly and whorish"???

Wow, this touches me deeply somewhere, in a part that says I'm not being that, but deep down I am. A
Ways trying to have friends or fit in.

And the hunger games comment in the descript, I guess there is a game of death all around us. We fight for our lives whether we know it or not, people trying to dodge death while some willingingly go straight to it, because of things like this. Very nice work. <3

This was beautiful, it actually made me cry. Thing is, I know the feeling of wanting to be that girl but I couldn't reach it due to certain diseases I have, so I can understand it well. I really don't see why people are bashing out on you for the description, its not like they could possibly know the two you were talking about.

Onto this beautiful piece of literature.
I seriously loved it. People need to appreciate the work of piece of literature and the time it took to write down such well-thought out emotions and words.

I can relate, like totally.

I believe that this poem is filled with jealousy. I'm not trying to be offensive, I'm just saying I've felt this way in the past, and now I don't feel like that anymore, cause I learnt everyone has their own problems and the girls that seem "cuter" or "more succesfull" than me aren't necessaryly more happy than me. I went more far than just being jealous (and now I regret this), getting to the point of sending rude and threatening letters to the girls I used to hate. Luckyly, I realized I was wrong and that behavior not only hurt those girls but also hurt me. I did all of that because I wanted to be just like them, and didn't want them to be "better" than me. Fortunately, I was able to wake up and now I'm at peace with myself.

Very good job, and always remember to be yourself, cause you are worth it

Ignore the haters, you have every right to feel that we are in a hunger games world, and it's getting worse each day, I get that. You didn't insult the girls or their appearance, you made an observation about several facts at once and a correlation to something that worries you. that's not hateful.

As for your poem/lyrics: this is something that most of us girls can relate to at our core. Trying to be perfect, trying to fit that image that everyone says you should, trying to make yourself what people want you to be, what you've learned is expected. Knowing that failure to do so will make you miserable because society sucks. I spent most of my childhood and young adult life feeling just like this, like you took the words frm my own mind. but once I got out of high school, I started seeing the reality of the world, of how it's ok not to be the perfect princess, and all the other options out there. it's incredibly freeing you'll get that confidence, too, if you haven't already. doesn't mean we don't struggle with insecurities every day, just means we've stopped spending every second being down on ourselves for not fulfilling that role. There are so many better things to be <3

aside from the title and the comments this poem would never have offended me Lolz
commentary and title are entertaining though...

This poem actually speaks what many girls feel at some point or the other, just perhaps not quite so specific as to the color of skin/hair/eyes, but the same concept. Interestingly enough I saw results of a poll taken a while back and at minimum of a quarter of all the young men in a poll agreed that most girls/women look better without makeup than with. Half thought that most girls/women usually look just as pretty with or without makeup. The last quarter said that they like makeup and some women look better with it but that some women look better without.

Majority of all females at some point in their lives have had image issues similar to the ones expressed in your poem. I really like your poem and can even tolerate your use of the "w" word even though I don't particularly like people using it, you used it relatively moderately.
