Aphrodite's Rage <language>

[Sarah]

So often we hear "beauty lies in the beholder's eye"
If that's the case then tell me why
We feel the need to put a number on perfect
Never considering how many lives are wrecked
Too many times, women turned away
For having a chest or hips with a sway
Oh what would the goddess of love have to say
If she saw how her image was portrayed today
Women hiding behind skin and bone
With wrists the size of a damned cell phone
Acting as if puberty is some kind of curse
Not realizing that a skeleton is much f*cking worse
Refusing to eat, oh yea, that's sexy as hell
Just go ahead and dehydrate me as well
Maybe then the perfect woman I'd be
But f*ck you all, I'd rather be me!

Sistahs, can I get an A-MEN? *choir sings out A-MEN*
Take my words, for I am a picky, judging man: there is nothing sexy about a girl who is so thin that she can slip through the cracks in the floors, or be blow out in an open window with a breeze. You're beautiful the way you are, both inside and out... and I wouldn't want you any other way. This is a damned good poem... don't ever change who you are baby.

[polonius]

Anorexia taken to its extremes can certainly be a cruel price for love; ironically, the price paid may even result in repelling those the sufferer hopes to lure.

Powerful Poem.

The media and modelling world is an evil culture that has spread it's venom into society.

Thought provoking and not missing a beat I applaud you for your honesty.
