Gorgeous gorgeous girls

Gorgeous gorgeous girls

were raised on 

midriff-baring crop tops

low-rise jeans

America’s Next Top Model 

and Cosmopolitan magazine.

Gorgeous gorgeous idols

emphasized 

that one hundred and ten pounds

(or less)

was ideal.

Tyra asked 

“Do you wanna be on top?”

Kate said

“Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”

So gorgeous gorgeous girls 

learned to sip on 

coffee

green juice

and hustle culture

as replacements for their meals.

Gorgeous gorgeous girls

were told they could thrive on self-deprivation

as long as they took it seriously.

so gorgeous gorgeous girls

pulled their hair back

put their heads down

and gave their all

to trying so hard 

to be a 

girlboss

and a 

cool girl

simultaneously.

We wonder why

gorgeous gorgeous girls

become 

gorgeous gorgeous women

with anorexia 

and anxiety–

forgetting that

gorgeous gorgeous girls

were told 

they could “have it all”

and heard 

that in the process

they had to lose themselves 

entirely.
