May 2014
Fake, plastic, creamy white
Standing tall
Uncomfortable
Awkward
Convincing you you're not good enough
For a size zero
Always wearing the latest trends
We need you to survive
Showing us what not to wear
Making us cringe
In our own skin
You aren't natural
You don't have a face
You
Aren't
Real
And all the while you're controlling
Your faceless expressions exhausting
And we can't take it
No more
I'm begging
You to stop and think
Though that head of yours is as
Empty as your dinner plate
Seeing you is torture
Making unrealistic expectations
Very real
Causing disease
Of the body and soul
You are all mighty
And yet, we don't even know
