broken dolls.

She looks in the mirror but what she sees is not herself

A distorted reflection of what society deems beautiful

A faded image of her divine femininity

Her skin as fake as her smile

She wants to see herself but is scared of what others might say

Instead she covers her face with a mask

Hides how she feels, holds back her emotions

Afraid her feelings will be ignored, she ignores them first

Everyday enduring the negative self-talk and the abuse

Not appreciating how truly beautiful she is

Not recognizing the divinity that lies within her

Like a broken doll, she sits pretty and unconscious

Unwoken to the world around her and the world within herself

She pulls herself apart and tears herself down just to fit in

Through fear and self hatred she forgot to recognize the incredible body keeping her alive

Scared what other will think or the judgement she might get

But what she doesn't realise is no one else's opinion on herself is valid but hers

Society puts expectations to look certain ways and act in a certain manner

That's just because so many people have been conditioned by external forces

Told what's right, wrong, good and bad

Don't let societies mistakes shape you or prevent you from loving yourself

Self love and self expression is your right as a human being

Do not break yourself to fit into a broken society
