Perfect Image- Lit Class

Blonde hair, blue eyes

how can I compete with this image

the magazine model

a manniquen

the perfect figure

perfect girl most will say.



Long legs, soft skin

how can I be more like them

but more products

the latest fads

the perfect girl

the corporate paycheck.



White teeth, pouty lips

how can I be perfect

fit the expectation of others

be better then I am

the perfect stereotype

sacrifice myself.



Anorexia, Bulemia

rail thin and deathly pale

the magazine model

still never good enough

the stereotype finally

killing myself.
