I Am Trying
Little Kylie Jenner isn’t so little
Her innocence has disappeared
Looking to redeem her self
Not realizing that her beauty is there
She’s egger to bloom
But not ready to wait
She knows the power she could hold so
She tucks, fills and fixes anything that isn’t “beautiful”
Her lips are divine but far from her own
Looking in the mirror and seeing nothing wrong
Not realizing that she’s no longer there
That she sold her youth
For a more mature beauty
As I close the magazine I realize we have a lot in common
We both are striving to wear a pair of shoes that might be a little too big
Tripping along the way
Always being told, “ your time will come”
But it never arriving
Willing to do anything to be consider adequate
She sold her youth
And I would too
In order to become the person I always dreamt I would one day be
