All women are real gorgeous, <br />No matter their size or height, <br />Many skin colours are beautiful, <br />And all ways of life are acceptable, <br />So why is it so hard to love one another? <br />Why do we have to throw abuse at each other? <br />I wish we could all live in harmony, <br />And accept all views and experiences, <br />For all women are unique and special, <br />It doesn't matter to me that opinions differ, <br />For everyone has a story to tell, <br />No one deserves to be put through hell, <br />Not for being open minded, <br />Not for taking the time out to show care for others, <br />We all deserve to be loved, <br />To celebrate being female, <br />To celebrate the female form in all its beauty, <br />And to celebrate the intelligence and attitudes, <br />That keep us different to one another, <br />No one deserves to be put through dieting pain, <br />There should be no one to blame, <br />For we have to educate ourselves, <br />To the pressure that surrounds us, <br />The pressure that makes it hard to see truth: <br />The truth of media hype, <br />How all shapes, sizes and careers are important, <br />Because you don't have to be a model to be happy: <br />You just have to be yourself, <br />Why shouldn't a woman be a lawyer or doctor, <br />If she chooses? <br />There is more to life than how we look, <br />So throw away those fad dieting books, <br />Because you have to see yourself in all aspects: <br />Not just hype advertised in the media. <br />So my message to you, <br />Is be yourself, <br />Celebrate your brains as well as beauty, <br />And feel the freedom and fun, <br />That life is supposed to bring!<br /><br />Paula Glynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/real-gorgeous/
