Society's lie

As i got older and Slightly more wise.
I learned about beauty
Society's lies.

I am what I am.
And not what I think.
I love all my food.
I like a good drink.

I wake in the morning.
I don't do my hair.
I'll Go out without makeup.
I no longer care.

I've got scars on my belly
But 2 kids to show. 
Now they remind me
Of watching them grow.

I sure ain't no tiger.
I earned all my stripes
We all have our flaws.
All different types.

I used to be worried.
I'd Undress in the dark. 
My Confidence ruined
From past shit remarks.

His arm goes  around me.
But what can I do?
His hand on my tummy.
Hold my breath till I'm blue.

But now I do giggle. 
I no longer care.
My skin is still wrinkley.
My heart is still there.

The world is still ugly.
The papers I blame
Airbrushed models
But Inside we're the same.

New mums on the telly.
All perfect and glam.
Vagazzled vaginas.
Gold plated prams.

A body to die for.
Neatly trimmed Bush.
She paid for an op.
To posh to push.

Society's nasty.
Just stay who you are.
Does Cash really matter?
Or the size of your bra?

Everyone's different .
Curvy or thin.
But learn to love you.
And the skin that your in.
