Pretty Girl, Ugly Girl

Pretty girl, ugly girl,

Have you any make-up?

Yes America, yes I do,

Three faces full,

One for my family,

One for my friends,

One for attractiveness,

Just the way you taught me.

This poem is about how American culture teaches that girls have to be pretty and how people base attractiveness on looks rather than personality like they really should. Thanks to Gunners_Mate for inspiring this poem. You should check her out, shes got some great poems!
