Barbie do you have a brain?
Are you better than me Barbie,
With your perfect eyes a inhuman blue,
And my almond brown, but filled with life?
Where is your life Barbie?
What about your perfect hair,
Always perfect,
Not a hair out of place,
Mine is consistently a mess,
Flawed,
Yes flawed
But Human.
Something you can never be.

I love the abrupt line breaks and how the lines get longer as the piece goes on.
It's interesting and really effective how you compare/contrast Barbie to yourself.
