plastic fantastic
raised to match
barbie doll expectations
impossible waist lines
poor little girls
each unique personalities
now she never knew
who she was
another body beautiful
with make up looks
to burn being everything
she is posed to be
except talent incarnate
sold for an image
another piece of pie
untasted uneaten spoiling
until emptiness swallows
her soul sucked mirror images

the whole 'Barbie Doll' image is an affront to women... you nailed it again brother!

Yes I have two daughters who are delightfully learning to think and reason as all adults should; and are free to become whoever they desire to be.
