Perfection

I look in the mirror, up and down,
Staring at myself, feeling like a clown.
I'm supposed to be an image of beauty,
According to tv, it's a girl's duty.
Sure guys get some pressure too,
But not nearly as much as us girls do.
Look at what this world's become,
One big lie under one big sun.
When will all the pressure end?
When will we realise that it IS just a trend?
Think about how an image of perfection has caused so much pain,
Should the world have to go through it again and again?
Just stop and think about what perfection is,
It's different in everyone's eyes, just more fizz.
If you want to fix the world and all,
Start with humans, the cause of the fall.

i think the whole fiction of how girls are meant to look is nothing more than a media creation. i don't, and most men i know don't subscribe to this stick thin model look.
not that i don't like stick thin but it is not just the shape men go for, nor big tits, nor drop dead gorgeous hollywood types. it is much more subtle than that. being an individual is far more striking than bah bah bahing behind the crowd.

life is pain>>> aw shucks! Well, i wouldn't really kno where to start in teaching u bout writing poems... but i'll write a poem about how I write poems...

When I write a poem,
I write what comes to mind.
And when I've done that,
I'll fix up what doesn't rhyme.
What i like to do with my poems,
I like to make the words fit.
Bit like a puzzle; piece by piece,
Wriing the parts; bit by bit.
But everyone's different,
So don't bother, don't fret.
If this doesn't work for you,
You're not stupid, I bet.
Just write what you want,
Scribble down an idea or two.
'Cause if you write what you think,
Your poem will be beautiful too.

CJ>>> Ppl u kno might not fall for the ideals of the media, but most of my friends and basically all the guys i kno (of my age) would prefer a stick insect rather than a good personality. The girls I know tho, would rather personality to looks. And I'm not saying that all guys want stick insects, I'm just saying that guy's hormones make them want the "beautiful people"...

And being individual at my age is a bit hard at times coz the majority of ppl wants to fit in.

why other trying to fit in, just be yourself and be original. its soo nice to see someone other than the bitches who like to have there dresses udone so they can flash ppl, with there short short dresses and there fakeness. who wants a world full of these people. just be yourself, i say, be originall and never be afraid to show who you really are...
