Real Gorgeous: My Personal Mission Poem by Paula Glynn

I see rightfully mature women
And gorgeous growing girls
Of all desirable shapes and sizes
Dominate the entire world
Their large bellies wrongfully insulted
Their bellies and curvy hips however
Should be happily celebrated.

I see rightfully wonderfully cool and weird women
Break the mould of society
Women like the entertainer Dawn French
Showing fat girls like me
How it is done and done right
Dawn vivacious and wickedly funny
With no personal insults or power play.

I see rightfully womanly women
Who love housework for their own gain
Realizing it doesn't make them old fashioned
Women who love handbags and lipstick
Realizing it doesn't make them a stereotype
Knowing their individual choices are theirs alone
And knowing they deserve a happy home,

Where no man beats them
Where they have high self-esteem
And learn wisely from where they've been
Their charisma rainbow bright and widely seen
Never settling for second best
Knowing they deserve some respect
And knowing they have deep inner beauty.

Women accepting themselves
And their non-physical attributes
Like their sense of humour
Like their intelligence and integrity
Like their originality and uniqueness
Like their quirkiness and playful fun
Women basically having the time of their lives.

Women and girls learning to accept the world
Not settling for an eating disorder
Not abusing their bodies with false diets
Not abusing their bodies with drugs and alcohol
Knowing they are worth glorious gold
Knowing they have real love in their lives
Their hearts to never to a stranger be sold.
