Enslaved


Powdered make-up pressed onto a clean foundation Eating a salad because you cant gain another pound trying to maintain the size zero your in to just belong fixing your hair cause your told if you don't your ugly Enslaved Your enslaved by these stereotypes everyday enslaved because you feel without that powdered make-up your ugly enslaved because you think with that one extra pound gained your still not beautiful enslaved because without your hair done you think your less of a women enslaved but i'm here to set you free nothing is wrong with your natural beauty embrace your curves cause they are beautiful Leave your hair in its natural state because every free floating shiny beaming curl is beautiful don't become enslaved because you are naturally BEAUTIFUL

<p>The repetition in your poems reminds me of a chant, almost like a mantra of self-awareness. If you want to maximize the potential in these repetitions, I would start a stanza where they begin rather than simply state the word. Look to speeches like MLK Jr&#39;s for inspiration, he&#39;s great at this tactic!</p>
