Slam Poem

Hey Peeps,
its been a while...........anyways awhile ago we were doing Poetry in English and we learned about slam poetry and then we had to write one. So here it is let me know what you guys think.....The song that kinda goes with it is "More Beautiful You by Jonny Diaz. And if you want to see a example then go to this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxsOVK4syxU

“Beautiful”
What is the real meaning of beautiful?
Nowadays beautiful is a shallow image
Of skinny girls in clothes made for dolls
Every girl wishes to look the same as some
Movie star who doesn’t even care
Girls look in magazines wishing to be that skinny
Thinking that they are fat
Constantly we have this images pushed on us
Hearing “not skinny enough” or “not pretty enough”
Or the favorite one that is sometimes said within our own minds
“NOT GOOD ENOUGH” and we foolishly believe the shallow words
And let them affect our self-image
Society has us jumping through hoops and
Foolishly we jump through them
Trying to be the same as others
When in reality we were made to me different
What is beautiful? Look in the mirror
Beauty is looking you straight in the face
You are the most beautiful thing on the planet
And never EVER let anyone tell you any different

Thanks
