What is Beautiful?
The days pass by like the meals she turn down
Her cheeks are permanently stained
With the tears she's shed
Her stomachs grumbling
She runs her finger across her ribs
She stares at herself in the mirror
She sees an ugly overweight monster
She is blind to the truth
Her head burns
All she wanted was to fit in
To be beautiful
Her parents wonder where they went wrong
They don't know
But
She hears them every night
When they argue
About who's fault it was
Little girls painting on fake faces
To be like everyone else
Magazines discouraging people around the world
Creating impossible standards
When this this is normal
We know something is wrong
With the world we live in
Have you ever wondered...
What is beautiful?
