Sit down,
Turn on the TV.
Click.
Flawless skin.
Click.
Long eyelashes.
Click.
Long legs.
Click.
Perfect bodies.
Click.
Lucious lips.
Click.
Big chest.
Click,Click,Click.
Stop.
Think.
Click.
Plastic smiles.
Click.
Air Brushed faces.
Click.
Starvation diets.
Click.
Fake people.
Click.
Eyes that don't look but don't see.
Stop.
Think.
I'd rather live with flaws then portray something that I'm not.
Click.
Turn off the TV,
Get up,
Go read a book.

I'm tired of having the standars of a "perfect woman" shoved down my throat. My hair doesn't seem to ever do exactly what i want it too, but i like not being perfect.
