Beautiful
April 2011 (9th Grade)

What does is take to look like Madison Bradford
or to date a guy from Stratford?
Does Beauty require shimmering hair that falls upon thy face,
or vary upon race?
Is it mandatory to trade in converse for stilletos,
or bear lips so bright as far as a shade of red can go?
Is there a limit on the time
and require the silence of a mime?
Is Beauty bonded with Perfection,
for it is often related by Superstition.
All in all,
if you want perfect, buy a Barbie Doll.
And from the way that goes,
even Barbies aren't perfect because they don't have toes! :)
