A/N: just in case you were wondering this is from the perspective of GLimmer the girl tribute from district one in the 74th hunger games (aka. Katniss' Games) It's not very long but i realy like her so i figured i'd share it with you :) If you like it or not leave a review I'd love to hear your feedback!
Skin Deep
Pretty, that's what I am
Or so they tell me,
I've stopped caring
They don't even know.
That's how they all view me
Skin deep,
If only they knew.
Pretty isn't easy,
It's not fun,
The surgeries, diets, backstabbing,
So many walls
I don't even know who I am anymore.
Skin deep,
It's what they told me to believe.
The hurt, lost friends, greedy family
Giving away too much, keeping too little
Beaten down, forever bruised
Betrayed by friends, family
But that's not where it ends.
Skin deep,
They say but I know better.
Just a face,
Something to admire, to lust for
Not to care about,
Not for long at least
I could be so much more, yet,
Skin deep,
Is the only way I'll ever be seen.
The giggles, flirting, smiles
My protection, security
Never lasts long enough,
Can't keep them out.
If only they knew,
Skin deep
Wait until you see.
I feel it all and bottle it up,
Until I am alone where no one can see,
I finally let it out,
The pen and paper my company,
Writing my version of the story,
Not skin deep,
I am so much more.
