The Barbie Life
How many calories are in that? Carbs?
I’ll take a salad with no cheese, no dressing, and hold the crotons.
My eyebrows need work,
It has been three days and they’re already like a caterpillar!
I need new shoes.
All of mine are out; I need the Campbell wedges.
Everybody has those.
Starvation is an option.
Sneak all of dinner to the dog.
Mom I can’t go to school.
You have to call me out.
I left my make-bag at Jessica’s house yesterday.
The Barbie life.
Society treats girls like dolls,
Each one trying to fit a mold of what is “right”.
The idea of being curvy is unacceptable.
They want long legs and a teeny tiny torso,
Regardless of their natural built.
Break away.
Break away from the mold.
Break away from the Barbie life.
