Young Lady's Today

a young lady trying to make it in this world

trying to be me the world forces us to be

skinny model thin

body like a coke bottle

now they want us to be thick with a  small stomach

and know how to twerk so we work harder each day

just to make that one person look and say all the things you dreamt

they would say so i'm the new beyonce yes im the new beyonce

but how im not skinny enough not pretty enough nor am i "bad" enough

to make the right guys head swivel then sway

i am no longer an individual with personality but a clone more like a drone to society

just a figure and a face

no individuality

so i'm going to be me and try to find the real thing

relationship cinderalla themed but how

when no guy is willing to be prince charming

instead they want to be a father to these girls i try so hard to be and not to be like

im going to try to be me with no love

MVP-Most Valuable Poet

be yourself

love yourself, be proud of who you are

never compromise that for nobody

there is a prince charming out there

when he comes, he'll accept fpr who you are
