What is it about a word that imprints a mind with channeling fear?
Perhaps a memory is associated with whatever that word means
Let's say the word in question is ... beautiful
Beautiful is a descriptive term
Connoting something that one is or is not
But Annie you say
Beauty is only skin deep
Zip it! I reply ...
I'll not allow even one more mixed message
To mess with my mind
If I open one more magazine to find
An article, lamenting body image
While the facing page shows an ad
Holding up an anorexic model
As the paragon of female beauty
I'll go mad!
I am woman hear my spirit roar!
