Alone in this world, yet surrounded by friends All worried about following the latest trends But not me, I want to be free from odds and ends The best styles depend on what the media says They handpick the physically elite to place in a close-up lens All calculated deceit, if you fall behind you’ll end up in the back seat Now anyone can be elegant, employing technology to cheat Revamped appearances are now displayed on our main streets Transforming young girls views to make them feel incomplete Natural beauty is harder to come by, morphing us to an effete society Notoriety is easier to achieve, our adoration alters confidence to anxiety I now question our propriety; forced variety plagues our high society They extort and contort the public’s image to be shown on public transport Deciding who wears it the best will soon become a contact sport I fear for our culture, even the most allure now sells themselves short One day this all may change, but for now the homely get a larger sentence in court

Media nowadays sickens me... no wonder so many girls have troubles with self esteem/confidence in today's society
