Analysis of The teenage girl
THE TEENAGE GIRL
How she longs day and night for beauty
She compares herself to other fine wine
With the thought that she wasn't given enough time to be look good
She goes in search for temporal beauty
On her journey
She meets the disabled but grateful
They call themselves the best
And they delight every moment
She continues her journey
She runs into those resting their bones forever
Fear gripped her interior and she flee back
No longer to continue her endless search.
Different thoughts engulfed her mind
And She began to compare herself with those she met during her journey
She resolved to be grateful
And never to return.
