Confessional Poem:
The Dare
"When I was a child,
I ate a small bug.
See, it was a dare
so at the ground - I dug.
It wasn't a worm-fly-or grub.
It wasn't a moth-beetle-or slug.
But it was an ant
I ate with a shrug;
and it wasn't so bad,
unless you're that bug."

Slam Poetry:
Girls of 2000
All guys want is a girl with a body;
Throw away the good girls to replace with the naughty.
Morals are a joke and respect is another;
Boys want a porn star their not looking for a mother.
And if your body doesn’t curve than your beauty cant be true.
Forcing you to hate the body the good lord gave to you.
Girls staring in the mirror with tears filling their eyes
Wishing they were ‘good enough’ for all those other guys.
And can you imagine just how badly that kills?
Everyday tripping off those cheap prescription pills
Xnanx, Riddilin, and Prozac just to get through the day
With the depression and anxiety always in your way
Never ever settled-always dying to be approved
Dying from ED’s and self-hate because of the media-who knew?
WHO KNEW that exploiting women would lead to their depression?
WHO KNEW that degrading women would put pills in their possession?
WHO KNEW that defining beauty you’d be starting a war?
WHO KNEW that your attention is all these girls are fighting for?
They just want to look like those girls, those girls, these girls,
Skinny, with the tan skin, the big curves, the blonde curls
These girls that don’t even look like that printed reflection
But the Photoshop and editing will hide away the imperfections
Making women want to be something that’s unattainable
Creating their minds and hope to be unsustainable
WHEN DID GIRLS BECOME SO OBSESSED WITH THEIR LOOKS?!
When guys made it clear that that’s all that it took.
Girls crave love and will do anything to attain it.
The picture is clear no matter how you paint it.
If guys loved smarts and heart and class;
Instead of a small waist, big tits, and ass;
Then that’s what we’d inspire to be.
But right now those thoughts don’t come to me.
When you define beauty the inside doesn’t matter
The outside appearance is all a boys after.
How big is your heart?
NO! How big are those breasts!
That’s the only thing that matters upon that chest.
Girls are humiliated for trying-for what they wear-and what they flaunt.
But in reality they’re just trying to be everything you want.
Yelling “whore” to a girl with her cleavage to show.
As if her self-esteem wasn’t already too low.
She dresses that way to grasp your attention
And society says that’s her only direction.
Reflection-
Everyone’s minds just need a correction.
The media is poisoned with a spreading infection-
Interception-
Maybe it’s not all on the media and the men.
Maybe the girls make it too easy for them.
Maybe these girls need to gather as a whole-
Get your hand on a book-get your hands off that pole.
Recognize your worth and stand up for yourself!
Because if you don’t respect you, neither will anyone else.
But passing the blame wont lead to a solution.
Everyone's caught up in this massive illusion-
A persons characteristics is what makes them so great
Their face and their body are just physical traits!
And a physical trait wont make the bad days good
That’s their minds and their heart, it’s just misunderstood.
A nice body is good but a nice heart is what’s best,
Love a girl for who she is- because every girls blessed.
