Embrace

Flipping through the media
I've become acutely aware 
Of an ever growing thorn 
My subconscious is gnawing

Society is the dictator 
Magazine covers undertake 
Self portrayal sacrificed
An obvious show and tell

It's a rugged world we live in 
To survive ultimate popularity 
Certain scales being tipped 
True beauty forgotten

We are much too guilty 
For being the followers 
Setting extreme standards 
That condone the normal

When the addiction controls 
The person facing the mirror 
Why can I not welcome me
And embrace the person I am

From the heart 
Char
