Pressure to Be Beautiful

Location

 

they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder but seems like all beauty channels through to the same image light skinned, long hair, coke bottle shape leaves all the other woman feeling like a life's waste no woman in reality wants to feel unwanted but media and magazines put so much pressure on it on the image that america wants to see They want to see extensions, bleached skin, and perfect teeth  they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder now my lil sister is crying on my shoulder crying because she's not satisfied with the image she came to be crying because she's not the girls in the magazines and tv i tell my little sister, "Hey, baby don't cry. the chicks in the magazines and movies are all lies Your face, your skin, and your hair is natural beauty A beauty like you is rare, You're such a cutie"
