‘Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline’

Don't let the
magazines dress you, girls on television impress you, cynical rules address
you, or sexist pricks disrespect you. Beautiful is how you were created, not
what they tell you. Keen and intellect is what you are, not how they reflect
you. Don't let the press, suppress you. Don't let the media's judgment
represent you. Don't let the pressure affect you. Don't let their idea of
beauty get you! It will only upset you, enough to regret you. Don't hate you
because you are not what they believe should make you. Dry your tears! Because
no matter how hard you try, they will remain ungrateful.
Do you love
yourself? Or do you love the image they have created to display you? Do you
think exposing more skin is a form of acceptance? Is that what you think it gains
you? Little girls are babysat by TV, who grow to look up to teen sensations
that are represented in such a demeaning manner. For example, an episode which
shows a young girl lying to her parents to sneak out with her boyfriend. A girl
who wears make up to impress the older girls in school supposedly determines
her level of hotness. What does it mean to be hot? Is it dressing like a hoe
aka wearing less clothes and more make up? Does it mean, dating the most
popular boy in school? Does another person's acceptance make you more
beautiful? Is that what we are being fed?
Surely, beauty is
inside you. Self-acceptance is more important than worrying about whom other
than you, accepts self! Must I remind you? Do not fall in the categories of
falsehood, or let it define you. Materials are an illusion; don't assume they
will divine you. Who's to say, selling yourself for less will gain you respect?
What does 'class' mean to a society who promotes more 'checks', for more 'sex'?
Your body is a temple, not a share to invest. You don't need anybody to tell
you you’re worth but yourself! Your dignity is your wealth, not the paper
itself.
Look here baby,
yes a person like me exists, and I respect you for who you are, all natural, no
tricks. You don't need to dress less or belittle your image, or believe the
propaganda description is what you must fit with. No need to mimic them
Hollywood gimmicks. Selling yourself for less, never made you any more vivid.
Don't expect respect from other's if you can't respect yourself. Putting half a
naked picture of yourself to get more likes on Facebook is not the right way to
raise your self-esteem! Be real! Be confident. Most of all, keep your dignity.
If a person can't accept you for being real, who care's how they feel. Don't fall
into the trap of illusion, because that leads to misery and the hearts
pollution. The universe becomes a mirror of your existence; it's all up to you.
If you be fake, then in return you get fake. If you be real, you get real. I believe that, a real woman
stands above all the "fuckery" and "fakery". Pardon my
language, but I’d rather love you uncovered, then have you covered
ostentatiously.
