So you've got some extra lovin',
most women do.
Perfection is a fallacy,
no matter what the magazines
are telling you.

The beauty is in being different,
not in being the same.
Love yourself in the skin you're in,
don't play societys game.

They tell you that to fit in
you should be small,
with super model height at 6 feet tall.
Your skin should be clear,
your teeth should be straight,
if you don't contour - you won't get a date.

Your lashes should be curled,
your cheeks should have blush.
Don't forget to draw in those brows, girl.
Go all in, or bust.

If you have acne,
that's okay - just conceal it.
Put more make-up on your face,
that is society's tip.

You need to lose weight?
Just start eating less,
or don't eat at all
so you can fit in that dress.

Wrinkles near your eyes?
We have creams for that.
We'll do anything to stop natural aging,
like Botox, face lifts....
It's all a trap.

They make you not like yourself
the way that you were born.
We're losing ourselves piece by piece,
and not realizing it's a cause to mourn.

You are INCREDIBLE just as you are,
with every little one of your scars,
with every little part of you that makes you stand out...
Love who you are,
it's what life is all about.
