Myballad


We will finally love ourselves
Because of who we are
We will know ourselves inside out
Because beauty is heart


The beauty industry kills us
Part of us dies inside
These pictures far from truthfulness
When we hear all these lies

When we can’t look ourselves straight on
When we deplore mirrors
Uncomfortable with ourselves
All these acquired fears

Making us unreal and untrue
We become false and masked
Beauty measured by heart
Is our new on hand task

More difficult to love ourselves
More pressure than ever
Bombarded with false images
Shown light as a feather

Giving disorders to young girls
Making us feel worthless
Changing ourselves for no reason
Our elders are speechless

Why can we not show true beauty
Why must beauty of heart
Be demeaned and shown as worthless
We now must do our part

Our outlook on beauty is flawed
This generation sick
For true beauty comes from within
Within is what I pick

The world must rise to the challenge
To change the way we see
A world of only blind lovers
From sea to shining sea

When the media stops this trend
Of photo-shopped pictures
We will know then what beauty is
When we stop this stricture

We will finally love ourselves
Because of who we are
We will know ourselves inside out
Because beauty is heart
