''Strong Woman''

By lilrudyman

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You say you wanna be a model, Or even a video chick. You say you wanna be a superstar, In the hottest movie flick. You say the other girls are doing it, And you wanna do it too. But they're making deadly sacrifices, And they ain't hardly thinkin' 'bout you. They just movin' up ahead, And trying to get up there first. Trying to show off their thighs, In those tight little skirts. Tryin' to lose all that weight, So they can be a size two. Girl those wanna-be models, Ain't hardly thinkin' about you. They too busy throwing up, And eating jelly beans. Then they get themselves all worked up, Because their belly can't fit into the seam. Girl, do you see where I'm coming from, Do you see where I'm at? Everybody can't be a superstar, Or a hollywood thumbtack. Every girl can't be a superstar, Or even a video chick. Every girl can't be an actress, Or a run-way-model anorexic. Listening to what everybody has to say, And you know it's a nasty world. Tryin' to think you can hang in this game, And you know you ain't a nasty girl. So stop listening to those liars. And be your own shining star. Don't worry about what people think. Just worry about being who you are. Written January 31st, 2002 © on Jan 31 2002 09:15 AM PST   0 • 12
