It's all about the outside And what everyone else says Change this Pluck that Buy whatever we tell you to Get him to notice you Find a husband Make him love you Become more likeable Pleasure them in bed. Wouldn't it be nice To stop reading quick fixes That last just as long? What would we do If we read in Cosmo That we didn't need a boyfriend To make us happy. Or that our answer to this empty feeling Wasn't shopping or tummy tucking But getting to know ourselves and others we care about. How would it feel if meditation, spirituality, volunteering Weren't the fad features, Instead It would be the make-up tips, latest diets, and new relationship bait. It'd be nice But would we subscribe?Birth sign: Gemini
