Beauty isn't in the breast implants Beauty isn't in the pouty lips Beauty isn't in the **** implants Beauty isn't in the skin bleaching Beauty isn't in the small waistline Beauty isn't in the tight clothing Beauty shouldn't be paid for just to be looked at. Just to have millions of followers on social media Just to be accepted. And yet, we praise it. We praise what is artificial over what's real. We praise those willing to expose themselves Yet you call them ***** and slams the opposite for being ***** You feel entitled to see a woman's exaggerated body That contributes to their deaths That contributes to the deep need that they ask themselves       "Am I beautiful now?"

...Beauty...
Beauty isn't in the breast implants Beauty isn't in the pouty lips Beauty isn't in the **** implants Beauty isn't in the skin bleaching Beauty isn't in the small waistline Beauty isn't in the tight clothing Beauty shouldn't be paid for just to be looked at. Just to have millions of followers on social media Just to be accepted. And yet, we praise it. We praise what is artificial over what's real. We praise those willing to expose themselves Yet you call them ***** and slams the opposite for being ***** You feel entitled to see a woman's exaggerated body That contributes to their deaths That contributes to the deep need that they ask themselves       "Am I beautiful now?"
Women killing themselves just to be accepted and desired... How far humanity has fallen for the impossible beauty standards
