What have they done to you? What have they done to your hair?  What have they done to your skin? What have they done to you? Beautiful little girl With soft and natural hair,  But then you saw them  And ended up with hair made up of plastic.  Hair made up of sacrifice . Hair that labels your expenses . Hair that has changed you!! Lovely smile you used to rock  But then you saw them  And ended up with mud on your face, Blush on your cheeks, Paint on your lips And crayons on your eyes. Your face has become a work of clowns. Miraculously your skin turned into light Because you wanted to be seen as light as them in pictures.  Your weight dropped  Because you wanted to be thin as them in poses.  Your name changed from Buhle to Beauty  Because it was easier for them to pronounce.  What have they done to your identity ?? You visit malls to search for the perfect dress But why not shop for a bag full of Personal identity Joy Self-esteem Inner beauty Self-love  Confidence?? You chose to look like them  Than to be you! You chose pretty  Instead of BEAUTIFUL... You chose to be trapped  Than to be liberated.  You chose to be them  Instead of being you!!!   BEAUTIFUL is to lift your chin up With love, joy and uniqueness.  Pretty is to be THEM. If I were you I would choose to be beautifully smart  Beautifully lovely  Beautifully confident Beautifully unique.  I would choose to be BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
