We live in a world

Defined by shape and size

Mirrors that tell lies

Appealing to the eyes

For a girl to

“look right”

Because this is pretty

while that is not

Where hot

Is not about weather

But about looks

Don’t whistle at us

Like we’re a dog

I am a LADY

and you’re no slim-shady

If you’re about

Breast and Thighs

Go to KFC

because I’m not gunna be

Your piece of meat

When did being pretty

become a competition

“You’re too tall,

She’s too short”
Why do we have to fight

to be a girl that looks just Right?

When did a girl

Start to think

That she’s too fat

To start skipping meals

Because being “pretty” is willed

And yet they wonder how society Kills

Everywhere you go, you see girls

Hiding behind a mask

Torturing their face

To keep up with the trends

Those make-up commercials never end

They try to sell beauty in a bottle

Yet the only bottled beauty is within ourselves

Which is more than you’ll ever find

On a cosmetics shelf

They try to cover up

Every little imperfection

In fear of rejection

From their own damn reflection

Don’t you get the connection?!?

Being beautiful became

Our presentation

Yet on the inside

We’re still an ugly nation

We gave them the a-okay

To say

That’s the way

To be

They turned us into plastic

And labeled us a “Barbie”

They even changed the definition of Pretty

P is for petite body

R is for right size

E is for Elegant shape

T is for tight curves

T is for your tits

Y is for you

Yet is this what we’re supposed to amount to?

Dare to Defy this definition of Pretty

And push back against the looks

of an ugly Society
