A first letter acrostic poem about an insecure girl and how she’s hiding behind her tough exterior.

Growing more distant with every passing day
Only hurting herself with her insecurities
Remembering the days when she was perfect inside
Glaring at her reflection in the mirror now as
Every day she tries to forget that her
Outside appearance doesn’t match the inside
Underneath the make-up and black clothes
She’s still gorgeous in every way possible.

That’s how I was in high school. In some ways I still am, just more confident. Thanks for sharing.

I love your poems. Thanks for sharing them. This one reminds me of my 19 year old daughter. She\’s a beautiful person on the inside. For that matter she\’s beautiful on the outside too but she chooses to dress in a way and color her hair and do her makeup and wear pearcings in a way that people don\’t see the real her upon just meeting her. She is one of the most sensitive, loving, caring people you would ever meet. I don\’t know what happened to make her want to hide it.
