Go to the tanning bed, you don't want to be pale.
Start a strict diet or just don't eat at all
Make sure you're not too short or too tall.

Take off that chapstick and put on some red
A little less liner, you don't want to look dead.
The bronze eye shadow is too gaudy, try some blue
Nevermind, maybe green is a good colour on you.

Get some surgery, you have no figure
Do something to look the slightest bit bigger.
Too short, put on high heels; tall put on flats
Your hair looks terrible, try one of your hats.

Apply some blush so you don't look washed out
Adjust your features to that cute little pout.
Put in an attachment if you can't fix your hair
Now we can move on to what dress you should wear.

Blue's too angelic and red is too bold
Black is too gothic and white is too cold.
Purple is girly and pink is even worse
Just take the green one and go get your purse.

Step past your threshold and start your new day
You may feel fake but people like you that way.
This is society and the cruel expectation
Somehow you'll be beautiful through fabrication. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 226 [topic] => 56 [informant] => Eve [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => sarcasticpoetry )

I am hardly a man with brains..lol .. but I understood this perfectly. An excellent write about how petty some can be. It isnt the wrapping that makes the gift, it's what's inside. ;o)

very well done

Man, Larry said what I wanted to say! Seriously, I know what you mean here. It's just plain wrong how much emphasis women are expected to put on appearance, and ludicrous how much every little detail is scrutinized.

Again, great poem Eve, glad to see a new post from you.

Keep writing or look like a Barbie doll,
-V.S.

It's a good write. It's weird how some insecurities get so big they control society.
When it's living life to their thought of what reality is.
The lines and bounds of this reality are crap.
But none the less that's the order we fell for.
even althis, even though, either way i believe in people and they're beautiful in most package.
