So much falls into place

With being aesthetic

So much conflict

And too much curiosity

.

The adolescent ponder too often

About her features,

And why they aren't her own.

.

As to why boys will without a doubt

Chase that one,

But won't give the one right in front

A morsel of time.

.

Why the nature of themselves

Makes an iris colorful,

While a brother's is dull.

Why is it this way?

.

The issue concerning teens

Is the simple thought

Of not reaching...

.

Reaching the high set expectation of society

The obligation to stand out

Or the need to prove themselves

Why? Why... when there are plenty that adore you whilst not being plastic?

.

A little redness on your skin,

A little thicker hair,

Too many freckles,

A birthmark too visible...

.

None of this applies

Beauty isn't your appearance

Or the latest clothing

It's your hearts way of saying, "this is me."

.

And if you're not being you....

How is your heart supposed to shine through?
