A Dream Away

Love and perfection
both written in fairytales
and linger silently in girl’s dreams, often causing a distraction
and always containing such vivid details

They try to imagine what its suppose to be
keeping hopes up high for future days
but some girls sit back almost invisibly
trying to hide, they always find a way.

Never going to be perfect, loved, or pretty
worries and thoughts that rattle their minds
Putting those girls in situations that are kinda s***ty
All because of the words of mankind

Celebrities and princesses making an impact
with ideas of weight, skin tone, complexion and more.
Those girls securities now not intact
because media tells us what’s right anymore.

Well, don’t listen to them and let you be you.
There will be someone out there waiting
someone who you have always known or just happen to run into
and unlike the media, they won’t be degrading.

They will love you for who you are.
Not caring about your flaws and imperfections
but in their eyes, you’re that shining star
waiting to accept yourself with no interjections.

So girls out there from 5 to 99,
listen to these words of truth.
You are all beautiful and will be just fine
If you love yourself, confidence will be your proof.

Don’t let others dictate who you will be.
Love will come to you sooner or later,
take it from me,
and insecure girl who now looks at herself greater.

Its different for everyone… when, where and why it happens
but destiny and fate
both share a great balance
in helping lead you to your soul-mate.

I originally wrote this for my English project but lost it and just found it the other day. Thought some girls would enjoy a boost of encouragement! :)
