Dear Girls of the World


Dear girls of the world who don't believe the compliments, are tired of the insults, and never feel good enough, let me tell you something - because I know - Self-image is a pain in the anorexia - it's more than that more than bulimia it's our minds it’s what we see Is what you see in the mirror real? Is your mind altering your reflection? Questions, Questions But no answers Questions, Questions Where are the answers? Girls askin' themselves Why can't I be thinner? Why aren't I prettier? Why am I covered in these puss filled pimples?? eww right?? Why is it so hard to be perfect? Questions, Questions but no answers Questions, Questions Most important questions : Why do I hate me? Why do I hate what I see? Frustration. Fat. Anger. Ugly. Frustrated. Angered. Why? Why? Why?! Does everyone share their opinion? Why? Why? Why? Can't we be happy in our own skin? The only skin we have But instead we fight, fight, fight, and we feed, feed, feed off each others negativity feed off each others positivity is what we need to lift each other up - up - lift your head up be proud close magazines turn off tvs draw mustaches on models models, you're just as beautiful as any model models, models beautifully thin? models, models, let's change the definition models, models, how about role models? Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey, Condoleezza Rice, Ellen DeGeneres, Pink, even Betty White Funny, Beautiful, Wise women Don't forget about all the mamas and the grandmamas All the Strong Women Fightin' Women In your face ain't never gonna give up women the right kind of women women to watch to watch and to hear to let lead you into leadership to be an inspiration, a voice to every girl in every nation so, girls don't you ever stop talkin' don't you ever stop teachin' keep the message going keep on preachin' -we are all beautiful- and if you still don't believe in it then imma keep speakin' it and you needa stop fightin’ it just stop, just stop and listen be here forget inhibition live now open your eyes to the beauty within don't miss it cuz girl "you are beautiful no matter what they say" words can't bring us down not gonna bring us down today because we, we are funny, beautiful, wise women, strong women fightin' women in your face ain't never gonna give up women the right kind of women
