Beauty Pressure
Waking up in the morning, Knowing that if your hair isn't proper your going feel
the sting.
It shouldn't be this way but shallowness is what makes the world twist and
turn.
Beautiful people get hired every day and we'll never know if it was because of
their stunning ness or their portfolio.
Honestly the first thing you do in the morning is check in the mirror.
It's not because your shallow, you just want to make sure that you look good because you
know that people talk and if they do it shouldn't be you that's ever mentioned.
It hurts to hear whispers in the air and your name is being thrown every where and
there's nothing you can do about it.
Fix yourself up, even add a little make up to hide the things that even a magnifying
glass couldn't see.
You turn in the mirror in your most expensive high heel shoes, Your just going to the
office but god knows the trip there is like a fashion show.
Your just walking down your block but it feels like a run way, Girls can't help but
check each other out it's just the principle female instinct.
All this pressure to make yourself look good 20 dollars down the drain
at the best salon to get your hair done and then it's sweated out in the hot summer sun.
What's the use you start to think, but you could never ever change... even if you
decided to chop it all off you would still have to pay to keep it straight.
You want to look like holly Barry that's a tough act to follow, she makes it look so
easy and then you end up looking like some knock off.
Are you from canal street some fake guy will
ask? Because I could sworn I saw you your just another copy cat.
Ouch that hurt you though as you kneeling down in the mirror trying your best to survive
the sharks that are thirsty for blood.
Tears pouring down your face and you cry until the morning.
The tears have dried and your eyes are red, hair is puffy so you grab that comb and
hurry the same routine.
It's sad but it's true some say beauty should be natural but there's
only few who are natural bueaties.
