They see me and swoon,
for I am absolutely perfect.
Look at my big eyes and small nose.
My raised cheekbones and sultry pose.
There is not a blemish to be found,
on my perfectly tanned skin.
And of course I don’t weigh more than 80 pounds!
That would be a sin!
Oh, and did I forget to mention?
My long wavy hair is all real,
no extensions!
It reaches my teeny waist,
which is above my unrealistically long skinny legs.
I am what every girl strives to be,
and everybody loves me!
But at the same time they are filled with jealousy,
because I am what they are supposed to be.
Even though all I am,
is a cluster of pixels
created by a computer program.
I used to be real -- a long time ago
but since then, I have been edited and refined.
Altered, modified, and re-designed
But shhh! No one is supposed to know that!
They have to think they can look like a goddess
but we can’t let them know that it’s impossible to be
flawless.
