Mannequins
March 2, 2016
What a
show
those desperate girls
display for people who
neglect their existence. Fake
smiles and artificial
laughs, perfect
powder-plastered skin and
tight clothes to show
curves that should
be kept unknown; preserved
for only themselves. Most boys
notice those girls, the ones who
showcase arrogant
personalities
only hoping for a wide-eyed
point and an admirable compliment.
These girls stand
tall, posing for the
world to see
praying
indefinitely that an
observer will
admire their appearance.
They feed off of the
worship, the bogus
comments, the
persistent praise present for their
plastic body
everywhere they go; this is the
only lifestyle they know.
