[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => Day by day I sit here Stuck here in this life In this materialistic world that has been created by the media In a world full of superficial people and images Being drilled into our heads to change our views To make every girl feel as though she has to look like Barbie or Britney Spears To portray this unhealthy image of how a girl should look. Is this why I am so unhappy? Because I have been molded by the media to portray and carry this image To be this superficial person for the world to see? Because I lack the qualities you see on TV or in the magazines I don’t have that tight figure that makes the guys stare I don’t have amazing moves or anything to stand out I’m just me! Isn’t that enough? I hold on tight to who I am I don’t let people change who I am just to be accepted by one person I don’t go run out and buy the latest trend of clothes or shoes I wear what I like and what I think is comfortable I look in the mirror and rarely ever like what I see I hang my head down as I walk through a crowd I lack the confidence in myself to approach a cute guy in fear of rejection I don’t see what’s on the outside I don’t see what everyone else sees When I look in the mirror I see many things Insecurity, ugly, fat Determination, courage, strength Fears, heartache, sadness Love, friendship, family I have so many things to be thankful for which I realize But why do I think so little of myself? Why cant I hold my head up and be proud of who I am? I have many accomplishments, and yes I have my share of failures too I am a good person with good morals and a good heart But why do I think so low of myself? Why cant I just be happy with who I am? Why am I always so fixated on improving my appearance? Not eating meals, and working out trying to lose weight To be skinnier, prettier, sexier?? Does this all go back to the media?? Subconsciously, it’s drilled in my head that’s what guys want That is how I have to look to be noticed Well I’m not going to be fake and be someone I’m not Some people may be able to live that life, but not me, I wouldn’t be happy I’m not going to pretend to be someone I’m not If you don’t like me, that’s your opinion, that’s fine There are plenty of people out there who do I’m just me. What you see is what you get But is that enough??

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
