The Societal Tick
This matter makes me cringe
My heart I feel it dies
When she believes the magazines
page after page of lies
Her body is a metal
so precious she beholds
worth more than money or compliments
even the finest of golds
What makes my heart ache
and what drives me up a wall
is women believing their beauty must be relevant
to a mannequin behind a glass window at the mall
What makes me ticked the most
is the media continues to lie
her hair is too short, her waist is too thin
with those oversized thighs
She's too smart
she's too pretty
she's too fat
she's too skinny
Women listen to me!
it's more than your arms, your hips, your smile
it's more than a product you can find in an isle
your flaws make you perfect, don't you see
women like us, you and me
Social media blindly deteriorates
self morals and esteem
you'll find the truth
that Hollywood is nothing but a scheme
And many don't address
these enemies woman idol
shut down the media, the critics, the press
these steps are very vital
Her body is a metal
so precious she beholds
worth more than money or compliments
even the finest of golds
And anger consumes me
like a fire on dry land
when women blend in
like another grain in the sand
You're meant to be curvy
short or even tall
forget the lies used to define yourself
you're the prettiest of them all
Her body is a metal
so precious she beholds
worth more than money or compliments
even the finest of golds
As we fix the broken pieces
of our shattered self esteem
what pisses me off is social media's image of perfection
is in the front line of every girls dream
