Beautiful ?

Poem By: ChibiMaeLynne

It sickens me to see what society today considers to be ' beautiful ' , and so I wrote this , saying the looks are fake , ( not natural ) and it doesn't matter what we look like . View table of contents...

Author's  Note: The  '  they ' is   the  people  who  insist  on  plastic  surgery ,  the '  we ' is  the  people  and  myself  who are  constantly  teased  by  appearance .   And  please note  that  I  don't  mean  all  men  when  I  say  this-thanks  for  the   reminder ,  Lionheart .

Although  I  may  not  be  thin ,

Have  shining  porcelain  skin ,

But  beleive  me ,  I've quite  the  look .

In  my  personal thought ,

Some  girls'  gorgeous  looks  are    bought ,

Completely  plastic  but  ain't  it  pretty ?

Because  girls  in  this  city ,

Just  '  Try  to  look  best  they  can ' .

But  that   don't  mean  that  we  all  must  be  fans .

When  she  shall  come passing  by , 

They  that  dare  to  just  glimpse ,

I  and  you  might  think  that  they  all  are  sad  wimps !

Because  though  they're  never  real ,  

Emotions  that  some  people  will   feel  ,

And  what  they  forced  on  the  screens  as  '  pretty '  ,

I  have  all  just  the  regrets  ,  to  say  it's  them  I  pity ,

For  saying  that   this  rough  skin  just  don't  work .

So  then  they'll  give  me  a  smirk , 

For  being  teased  and  turned  down ,

For  what  could  make  them  see  just  why  I  frown ? 

They  always  give   them  the  boot ,

Self-conscious  girls  in  swimsuits ,

For  never  being  the  right  kind  of  size !

So  don't   apologize  at  ,

The   candy  bars  ,  or ' we're  fat ' .

They  know  they once   maybe  looked  just  like  us .

So  let's  stop  all  of  this  fuss ,

And  stay  the  way  that  we   are ,

Completely  happy , in  fact .  

And  just  beleive  me , they'll   never  come   back .

you make us men look like real air heads, but the ones you think are the real airheads are the ones that are at fault, keep that state of mind.

Sorry if it sounded as though I were accusing men of something , it was supposed to be judging the society for what people now beleive to be beautiful , and not all men . I guess I should go put that in an edit right now ...

This poem is so good, got me thinking about things. Thank you keep writing cuz u have good talent.

It wasn't meant to be the way it was , but I would've gotten more complaints if left the way it once was . Thanks for R&R . :)
