Society has filled our minds with lies and nonsense.

they tell us beauty is a size 0, and that plus size is a size 6.

Society has told woman all over that if you dont meet those standards

if your different from the norm of everyday,

your ugly.fat.worthless.

that is, until

you meet those standads. until you fit into a size 0.

Then your considered beautiful.

Then you are looked apun.

Society has told us that "the natural look",

is beautiful.

But when a woman chooses not to wear make up, or curl her hair,

they are looked at as if they are lazy.

There  definition of "natural"

is makeup that doesnt stand out.

skin as smooth and clear as a covergirl.

They dont want to see whats under. 

they wont consider what could be lying under the surface.

Society has filled our lives with lies.

All of those girl in magazines are so photoshoped they look unreal.

they have eyes that take up half there face.

bodies cropped to fit into negative sizes in jeans.

But when you see them in real life,

they are just like you and me.

they are no different.

they have break outs on there skin,

bodies that are porportioned corectly.

Society has taught us that beauty is what is on the outiside

that your pants size, and where you buy your clothes ,or how you put on your makeup

is what matters in life.

This needs to be changed.

Society needs to understand that were all beautiful

size 0 or a size 24.were all beautiful.

Makeup or no makeup.brushed hair or not.

we are all beautiful.

Society need to stop implanting these ideas that people are not enough.

that they have to change who they are in order to be beautiful.

Society is what needs to change.

Not me. or you. or that guy with bald spots.

Society is the one that needs to wake up and see the beauty around it.

Society is the one that needs to change.

Because you and me;

We're beautiful.
