“You can’t be pretty,
Without being skinny.”

That’s what they say,
So I start dieting,
And starving myself,
To follow their way.

“If you’re skinny,
You have a disorder,
So start eating.”

So that’s what I do,
I start to gain,
But I still wasn’t perfect,
What else can I do?

“If you don’t wear make-up,”
You know you’re ugly.”

I start to wear make-up,
But I don’t feel pretty,
I feel like I’m suffocating,
My mom takes pity.

“If you wear to much make-up,
You’re either a slut or a whore.”

I stop wearing make-up,
They want everything,
Instead of messing people up,
Why can’t the chose something else.

“If you cry,
You’re weak.”

I dry my tears,
I can’t show my fears,
But what do I do,
With all these emotions.

“If you don’t cry,
You’re a jerk.”


My insides start to hurt,
My heart is about to burst,
I’m so confused,
On what to do.

“Follow us,
And you’ll be perfect.”

They lied.
They only messed with my head,
Causing me to hate myself,
Now you can find me dead,
On my bed,
With a note that says.

“Fuck society,
We are all beautiful,
In our own special way.”

We are all unique, we don't need other peoples' opinons to feel good about ourselves. :hug:
I'm not trying to blame society for everything but I know that a lot of people will try to match what society says to get noticed. Plus this is from my view of society and I can put my own opinon. So please don't hate on me for writing this :(
If you miss it, the main message is the last paragraph of the poem...

I think you mean pity instead of petty?

Thank you for writing that piece of truth. I am glad to read, that here on earth still live people, who can see what society does to us. We all are covered with superficiality - if anyone does not do that was erveryone does he is weird or needs to visit a mental house "to be cured".

It is sad, that we are not able to live as individuals but the most paradoxical is that everyone demands his individuality. We should know, that we all are individuals and should have rights to live like that. But we cannot.

Poor humanity.

"skinny"
Nope, we want your delicious curves.
't means that you don't want fat filling dem curves up nor visible bones sharpening the curves.
If your body type lacks curves then your genes are messed up; blame your parents.
Well-applied make-up =/= too much make-up. You want to fix what's wrong (quite a lot, actually).
On another note, blaming other people for you hating yourself is not logical.

I'm not hating you for writing this but I'm annoyed by the fact that you state stuff that's wrong and then label it as your opinion to make up for it.

Still, that's my opinion, so in a way I'm contradicting myself.
I'll be busy all night with these poems over here.

So true. If only people learned to be themselves more... Thank you all! Thank you, deviantArt, thank you, fanfiction, thank you, anime... thank you, all, for teaching me, and encouraging me to be myself, and stop trying to please others.

So true. But my heart aches to read this, even though I experience this daily. Even though I feel suffocated by society's expectations daily. I read this all laid out before me and it clenches my heart and squeezes 'til it feels on the verge of popping. I had to take a couple of deep breaths after reading this. Well done.
