All my life I've seen girls and woman Told to hate their own faces Refusing to go outside Without a face painted to perfection Eighth grade - Girl with blonde hair Doesn't believe me when I say she's beautiful When she lets me in Her house Wrapped in a blanket Canvas blank She nervously lets me stay Two years after college - Girl with brown hair Doesn't believe me when I say she's beautiful When she asks me how she looks best And I say "without makeup" She stares and says No when do I look most beautiful She nervously laughs All my life I've seen boys and men Told to hate their own faces Nose down ninety-five percent of the day Eyes can't meet others Freshman year of highschool - Young boys face spotted with change Ashamed without confidence Feeling too small Too insignificant Lacking perfection Ten years later - A man with short brown hair Eyes feeling too sunk in Face not sharp enough Cheeks hollow Body twisted made to feel ugly Almost letting go
