"Get the London-look."

 

"Get the London-look."

Frowning, "I'm from Virginia.Why would I want the London-look?"

My television preaches a repetitive sermon.

 

I shouldn't be happy with the way I am.

And I'm not.

But, I have too much pride to change myself.

Commercials inspire me to be me.

Terrified of losing myself.

I sell my self-confidence.

 

Convincing me no one will want me.

I'm forced to love myself.

Girls with wide hips and pores

Girls with broad backs and small breasts.

Girls with crooked teeth and frizzy hair.

Don't deserve happy endings.

 

Well, that's false advertising.
