The Unannounced School Beauty Contest

Location

The only beauty seen

Is on the outside

In highschools around the world

This creates drama and insecurity

It is faithfully unannounced and

Even though we know that

Beauty comes from the inside

It is the fashion, and

With girls, it is all very cruel

The boots, the shirts, the bags

The Vera Bradley backpack brigade

Getting noticed is not always good

Perfection is a must

In order to survive

Highschool and of course

This beauty contest

Within the hallways

Through every day
