Women around the world


Society views women
As things not good enough
For love or affection
Unless they're thin and pretty
Like the girls on television.
 
If they're hair isn't perfectly
Straight or curly
Or too flat or even too poofy
They're not pretty enough
To be called beautiful.
 
If women are more
Than a size double zero
They're to fat for any guy
To call them beautiful 
Or good enough.
 
Women are either 
Too smart
Or too stupid
There's no in between.
 
Or they they have
No personality
Or they laugh too much
For a guy to be seen with.
 
Guys are impossible 
To please or make happy.
Why do women make themselves
something they're not
To make others think they're hot?
 
Women around the world
Should be more confident. 
 
Women around the world 
Should stand up to society's
Ever changing views.
 
Women around the world
Should not give up.
 
Women around the world
Are good enough.
