False Perfection
Since when is being a size 8 considered fat?
 Since when can a girl only be beautiful with makeup? 
 Since when must guys constantly 
 work out to be attractive?
 
 Why is there only one type of right music to listen to?
 Why must girls have a curvy body?
 Why are they labelled ugly if they 
 don't?
 
 Why are the boy and the girl with 
 kinky black curls considered less 
 appealing than the ones that have 
 long flowing blonde hair?
 Why are they ridiculed for not 
 wearing the right clothes?
 Why are we wrong for not wanting to 
 fit in?
 
 If we stopped listening to how society thinks 
   we should be, 
   we should act, 
   what we should look like, 
 
 You would realize
 We were born to be real not perfect
