Plastic.
One word to describe what everyone thinks is beautiful.
Plastic arms.
Plastic thighs.
Plastic faces caught in fake smiles.
What is so beautiful about a barbie?
Her fake hair you can brush over again?
Her eyes that stare so blankly?
Her supposedly perfect figure?
Why is this beauty?
Am I alone in seeing how shallow she is?
How her eyes only cut into the surface of everyone?
Standards of beauty.
They ruin lives.
Shatter self esteem.
Cause irreversible damage.
Why can't girls see how truly beautiful they are compared to a barbie?
They're all caught up in the plastic.
Drowning in plastic.
And there is no one to save them.
