Untitled
by Kyla O, Ontario, Canada, Age 18

Paint her dirty nails a beautiful shade of pink
Deep crimson lips pursed to perfection.
Small waisted, tall and curvacious.

Forget dignity,
Forget intelligence.

Lower the neckline and shorten the hem,
A body to be sold, sold for attention.
Where will she find love?
In the bed of a stranger?

Quick to undress, desire to impress,
Who cares about self-love?
What happened to respect?

She only wants to fit in.
