Sleek, fine

and

thin

Her curls are gone

and all that matters now are drawn

eyebrows and boys to wait on

Help her. She thinks they won't tease 

her now that they call her beautiful

Though, that's not what she sees

Tell her that it’s hard

to be young, I know, but there’s no escaping being scarred

So disregard

the magazines, the movies, the runway shows

and you’ll learn to love yourself

Who cares if you can’t fit into your clothes!

Learn

 to love

 yourself

Tell her this and she’ll realize

that people idealize sex and beauty as to minimize

her flawlessness. So recognize

that she will not be resized

for you

or anyone.

Remind her that makeup and fashion

will never outweigh her resilience and compassion

that mere physical attraction

is not love

that you in the mirror is the best thing to be

in awe of

Say:

Wear your curls free and untamed. Weigh

as much as you want. Obey

no stereotype and find a way

to pull through

whenever you feel misplaced

when you can’t wrap your hands around your waist

To all the women:

Make it your mission

to not care about other peoples opinion

to accept

every hair 

every defect

every flaw
