barbie dolls

all she wanted
was the look,
she wanted to
be the barbie,
45 and a 24,
she changed
to a sculpture,
tear the plastic
and what else?
would we ever
see behind the
cluttered walls?
find the real her
behind the dark?

you’re beautiful, but
not when you starve,
don’t hurt yourself,
you deserve better.
all the makeup and
little body changes,
a little snip snip here
and a “fix” right there,
but suddenly, you’re
no longer yourself,
you don’t need them,
that, i promise you.

inside and out,
you’re incredible,
i know that you’re
extremely brave,
and you don’t need
to change yourself
to prove that to me.
your soul is all that
matters in the end,
so keep doing you
and love yourself,
you don’t need the
barbie doll treatment
to win the world over.

you only have one self,
so love what you have,
don’t feel like you’re
worse off without the
supermodel figure.
just the way you are,
you’re doing just great,
and none of your scars
can take away from the
beauty that you possess.
