Trying To Fight It

Location

All my life I have been trying to fight the world.

Ignoring the messages from televison commercials, ignoring the blurps of the radio, ignoring the brightly colored signs that tell me how to be in my body.

Makeup being pushed at me to find what the world calls to be "Beauty". All it is is a layer of fake skin that makes people think that Beauty is not being you.

Starving myself just because that is how the girls on TV look. How wrong is it for companies to project these images to young girls everywhere. Making women affraid to be themself no matter what the media says.

All my life I have tried to fight it.
