Ask the World
Beauty standards have been held high.
Look at them now, they're as unrealistic as can be.
We've set them ourselves for each other,
Acting like we know what real beauty is.
Have curves in the right places and
you're automatically a beautiful girl.
Wear layers of makeup to hide your flaws.
Change everything you are to meet our required standards.
Don't look in the mirror,
It won't tell you the truth.
Instead ask the world what they see.
They'll tell you everything you wish to know,
Even the things you don't desire to know.
Tans and toned muscles,
It's all women will ever find attractive.
Spend hours working in the gym,
For the perfect body.
Don't look in the mirror,
It won't tell you the truth.
Instead ask the world what they see.
They'll tell you everything you wish to know,
Even the things you don't desire to know.
Never forget you'll never be good enough.
You'll never be who we've designed you to be.
You'll never reach the perfection of all the others on TV.
You sure can kill yourself trying though.
We'll be sure to continue giving you more unreachable standards.
Sincerely,
Your Society
