Perfect Princess

Why are princesses always skinny 

Why do they always wear makeup

Why do they wake up perfect

With makeup on and hair already done

Why are they perfect?

You see people say how social media is fake and how wrong it is for women to be pushed to look “perfect”

But they forget what we grew up watching 

Perfect Princesses 

We watched people being perfect and strived to be like them 

Social media or words from others had no say in that

As people, we will never be perfect and that’s ok

But one thing I’m going to do to make the world better is strive to be the person God created me to be

Not some perfect princess 

And maybe show a few others to do that too

As little girls, we were called princesses. It’s ok to be girly and have fun! But this poem shows that women shouldn’t have to be that perfect version of a princess.
