I really liked that. I've always I guess been considered pretty and had a charm that has attracted those of the opposite sex even those of the same sex. I have even been one of those girls that uses it to her advantage to get what I wanted. Then I learned that it didn't make me feel better. I didn't know who was genuinely interested and who just wanted to get in my pants (though I was a flirt, I wasn't easy even though people thought I was). I didn't know how much it sometimes hurt people by the amount of attention I got.
I hope this poem shows those out there that think looks and flirting will get them what they want that they could be hurting people they do care about if they use it in the wrong way. Even if they aren't "using it" per se, if they don't pay attention to who that "innocent flirting" and natural ability to attract people hurts they will eventually end up alone because they hurt those close to them due to stealing everyone else's thunder without a care to making sure those they care about share that spotlight with them instead of ignoring them and their feelings.
Bah.. sorry to have babbled on in this comment. Now you see why I don't comment much? When I do, if I'm not careful I end up writing a damned book.
I thought you said you'd never make front page Draclith-chan hehe I'm not sure if it'll still be up there when you get this, so I took a screenshot to prove it!!!

Interesting! Great job.

Beautiful doesn't always equal fake, though in today's culture, it almost always does. Fake hair coloring (dying, bleaching), fake skin coloring (tanning), fake body shape (liposuction, cosmetic surgery, silicone implants, etc), fake personality, etc.
Yeah, I'd say this poem is definitely a successful piece of art.
