What we are told

False images

By Skylight RainPublished 4 years ago 1 min read
"Beauty in the eye of the beholder"- Margaret Wolfe Hungerford

Why must women suffer

Damn I am tired of this shit

You got to look like this

Have a body like that

Hair down to your ass

What happened to natural beauty

Putting on sweat pants

Shit I can make it stylish too

Why show clevage

Not having one anyways

Pants that hug my ass so tight

Bending down becomes a task

Heels hurting the last pinky toe

Impressing who exactly?

A dog

Our vaginas are their treats

Tails wagging

Toungues out

Drooling

Catching the wrong attention

A man will be a man regardless

I can look like I just woke up out of bed

Teeth not brushed

Face not washed

Smell of period that saturates my pad

You can still be used

Our vaginas are gold

Whether new or used

Who gives it fuck it still works

Generic

Labled

Still being used

Left with a broken heart

Questioning yourself

What could I did differently

I'll tell you

Love yourself that's it

That is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

I am still learning this myself

Cup halfway spilled

Time to refill
