Deceptive Comeliness

Skinny waists, hard to embrace
A maze of cosmetics paints a perfect face
Flawless skin and a button nose
She was a thorn, her role model, a rose
A search for acceptance, tough to pursue
A puzzle of norms, everyone must salute
Beneath glossy pages and pixelated screens
It’s false advertisement and not what it seems
Lack of confidence, social media in control
Standards these days impossible to uphold
Pain overcomes her, a knife to her skin
Cut these imperfections and make her thin
Beauty is pain, that’s what they say
Count your calories, watch your weight
Drowned in judgment, aimed to look best
It’s all a mindset, a societal jest
