Myth:
"I seek your approval
in my appearance, in my mind, in my being
I need you to tell me
that I'm beautiful, I'm smart, I'm perfect
I am all you want,
all you'll ever need
I am witty enough not to be boring
but to you I come crawling
my thirst for abuse you feed."
Truth:
They tell you how to dress, to think, to act
Complete hypocrisy under thinly-veiled tact
They undermine your confidence
and tell you what to be
They preach free love and tolerance
while downplaying sanity
They confuse and diffuse your opinion
and kick you when you're down
They drape you with silk, satin, lace
and with thorns for a crown
They call you manipulative, whore, bitch,
Materialistic, vengeful, heinous witch.
They say you ask for the pain that they so lovingly give
you have to be everything and nothing for this love you receive.
Fact:
Woman
you don't need validation
in men, in media, to make you whole
Woman
in life there is no perfect role
Woman
look within,
beauty in flaws means a beautiful soul.

Hey! I'm definetly diggin' this piece; feelin' it through and through. It's so hard to critisize your works in a critical way simply becuase they're nearly flawless. The only thing I can really say is that i don't think that third line in the Fact: flows as well as it should. But regardless of that, it's an exquisete piece with a wonderful message.
