"Be who you wanna' be, barbie girl."

I gaze up at those faces
that they say are beautiful
People are so confused,
Am i confused even more?

Beauty isn't models
who starve to be thin
Beauty is something you
find deep within.
Beauty is confidence
and knowing where you stand
Beauty is courage and having
the heart to lend a hand.


The author's comments:
When i was shopping for make-up i came across this picture of a model. She was gorgeous and her skin was so perfect!
I nudged my mom and i said, "I want to look like that!"
and she replied, "Hun, she's fake."
I asked her what she meant and she told me, "They edit her to look like that, she doesn't look like that in real life."
I then thought about it and wrote this poem. (:
