The smile almost seems
fake
It seems as though they are programmed to say
“I’m fine”
The perfect skin
No acne insight
The perfect light-colored eyes
that glistens with the sun
The perfect hair that
bounces like a pogo stick
with every step
The perfect “hourglass” figure
that every model seems to have
They looked human but functioned as machines
Little girls want to look like them
but why?
Why can’t a girl
have a little acne?
Why can’t a girl
have dark-colored eyes?
Why can’t a girl
have straight hair that is
as stiff as a board?
Why can’t a girl
be called
Beautiful
for these
“Imperfections?”
They looked human but functioned as machines
Because of this
little girls are diagnosed with
Anorexia
Because of this
little girls have
low-self-esteem
Because of this
little girls don’t know what real beauty is
because magazines photoshop
every celebrity they can get their hands on
Because of this
little girls put on a fake smile
and say
“I’m fine”
even though they are breaking on the inside
They looked human but functioned as machines
because that is every model in the media
today
