One of the saddest truths of our era
Is millions of women around the world
Trying to fit a certain criteria
A deception they feel obligated to hold
Sacrificing financial savings and health
In order to have cosmetic surgery
In a desperate attempt to meet up to a myth
An unrealistic standard of beauty
Appearance have been so stressed
That individual values counts as almost nothing
The “modern” women are being assessed
On the basis of physical traits, jewelry and clothing
Have noticed that those who fit the criterion
Find it easier to get the job or position
Even though if they have the proper qualification
That’s why there is constant competition
Everyone sizing up one another
Making everyone abide to a certain measure
If you don’t posses the “right” manifestation
What else is there for a woman to do?
You are going to have to make a few modifications
Aren’t you?
Women in this civilization
Are so ruined
Loss of the self, the person
Allowing her self to be manipulated
Vulnerable because of her femininity
Exploited of her individuality
Lack of confidence and self esteem
Admitting to how others say for her to be
This is truly one of the saddest truths of our time
All these beautiful beings suffering to meet an impractical standard of beauty
