Lost, but searching
How could this be?
Never good enough for a magazine
Maybe it’s my self-esteem,
Or maybe it’s Maybeline?
We’ve prodded, poked,
taken and sewn
Yet some how I’m not perfect
Maybe I’ve just not done enough,
Or maybe it’s Maybeline?
“Enhance you natural beauty,”
“Add to your perfect glow,”
“This will only hurt a bit,”
” and hold still for just a moment”
How come their lies are still alive
And turning pretty to plastic?
How come nobody told me?
How come no one spoke up?
Maybe it’s a little lie,
or maybe this is Maybeline?

Interesting images. I know what you mean about pressure to look fake and perfect. It’s hard to be twenty-first century western women, and easier in some ways as well.
