PORTRAITS OF LIES
born and breed into a contest of fabrication
taught to suffer and be dominated
life is set up before it begins
images forced on us everyday
by a world build on glamour
put into place because of a body
dreams shattered from birth
no longer able to be human
paraded around like a statue
somewhere innocence was taken
perfection is desired failure is not allowed.
A collection of flesh laid forth by men
lust has consumed what was once pure
Her cries go unnoticed
where is the little girl
she is sentenced to a cover

The war between our fixation on beauty and the need for acceptance and/or control is producing countless casualties in the forms of shattered females. These unrealistic standards have and will continue to leave females feeling worthless and defective. By allowing this system of objectification to exist, we are in essence telling females that no matter what the means, find the end that is beauty. And because of this, we have females who looking the mirror and are brought to tears because they utterly despise the image reflected. We have female slowly killing themselves over toilets or just starving themselves all together. We have females spending thousands of dollars on plastic surgery so their breasts can be bigger or their nose smaller. For whatever physical "imperfections" there might be, there is most definitely some emotionally destroyed female chained to them who is left questioning her self worth when she realizes that she's not quite as pretty as the latest hot model or mtv piece of meat. And who reinforces this? It's each and everyone of us, males and females alike. Almost every one of us is guilty of cherishing beauty to the point where we want to consume it or be consumed by it. But let's try to change that, ok? And the first building block in this foundation of acceptance should be to stop looking at females as objects of desire, but rather people who can be appreciated for more than our body parts. Imagine the possibilities of what kind of world we might have if we relied a little more on our hearts and minds instead of our eyes. After all, what you see with your eyes can fade, but what you feel with your heart can last forever. (Carey Tirade)
