    This document discusses society's unrealistic standards of beauty and the negative impact it has on self-image and mental health. It describes how people, especially women, feel pressure to conform to ideals of physical perfection portrayed in media. This obsession with looks has led to practices like plastic surgery, makeup, and unhealthy dieting behaviors in an attempt to achieve the "perfect" appearance praised by society. However, true beauty comes from within through one's personality, not physical traits alone. The document advocates for judging people based on character rather than superficial attributes.

    My biggest weakness is my insecurity Humans are wired to be attracted to

    symmetry.
    Don't look at me
    Perfectly symmetrical faces.
    I feel like everyone is staring
    But society has taken that natural hard drive
    And the judgment is blaring so much further.
    Don't look at my flaws Look on the cover of that magazine! What
    They're just not right do you see?

      A "beautiful" person.

    Imperfection isn't perfection But in reality that beautiful person isn't even
    the person on the cover.
    Perfection is perfection
    We are so obsessed with looks that we fake
    And I'm not the definition of perfect ourselves
    Im nothing Plastic surgery, hair dye, fancy clothes,
    So please makeup.

    Just don't look at me


      Makeup.

    I don't like the attention I get from the Girls, you know what I'm talking about.
    definition I have for myself We convince ourselves that we are ugly
    I'm tired of the pity and the jealousy that underneath this mask of expensive crap.
    people radiate off on to me in attempt to Makeup is just another step in looking
    make me feel beautiful. perfect.
    I don't want your compliments. When we see collarbones, ribs, and thin
    I don't want your pity. limbs on an animal we call it cruel.

    They don't matter to me. But on a woman it's a form of beauty.

    They won't change that image in the mirror  


    that completes my idea of never being good BEAUTY IS CRUELTY.
    enough.
    Beauty is greed, selfish, pain, a wish.
    Those compliments that I get about my
    physical appearance makes me want to The priority of teenage popularity.
    punch you, you, you, and you in the face. If perfection is what you want
    Don't worry, I won't. If beauty is what you want
    Those words that try to fill that void in my Then don't look at me.
    mind with feeling physically beautiful,
    shows me how incredibly insane society is.  
    NO.
    I refuse to be judged upon my physical
    appearance like the rest of this immature
    harmful society.
    Judge me based on my personality. Please.
    I know I can't change this world
    It will always be the same and will
    continuously get worse
     
    I could go verse by verse talking about how
    much the pressure of being beautiful affects
    us teenagers
    And not only us teenagers but every single
    person suffers for the highest rank of
    physical perfection
    The stress is too much and I’m struggling to
    break free from the society's priorities
      
    But if you absolutely have to focus on my
    looks
    Then don't look at me.
    Because my biggest weakness is my
    insecurity.
