Lord R. E. Taylor Poet Free verse

Perfect You

Perfect You

Little girl
Beautiful little girl
Why do you let others decide for you
How you should look
What body you should have
They do not know you
They have never seen you
The ones you look at
They are not real
They are airbrushed
They are made of plastic
You are the real girl
True to nature
Your hair may not be right
There may be a couple extra pounds
Don’t listen to magazines, TV or movies
Just remember
You are the way you should be
You are the perfect you
