Our Obsession
Our Obsession
Portrayed
As a harmless procedure
To boost self confidence
Our obsession
Speaks to our children
Saying
I know you despise the way you look
And I can help you fix that
Our obsession
Shows a weakness greater than one can imagine
It would show more strength
To stand up in defense if we are called “fat”
It would show more strength
To take pride in the way we looked
Not allow the insecurities or others
to influence our behavior
It would show more strength
To judge people by their actions
Rather than their body type
Our obsession
Should not, and cannot be used in the way it is currently
But the abuse of it will continue
And the human race will continue to judge and exclude
Because of appearances
Our obsession?
Cosmetic Surgery.
