All over the world,
There are alot of young
Girls and Women who
Worry about their figures
And they don't think they
Are beautiful enough
The media is to blame for this,
Promoting celebrities
Who are size zero
This is not healthy!
We need to celebrate Real Women!
So Girls and Women, I
Am calling on you to
Get right behind me
And we can all make
Ourselves heard!
You are all unique!
You are all beautiful!
We can be our own
Role Model!

Very good
Very good piece, it was more a speech than poem in my eyes but that ok.
Good luck in the contest -
This was awesome. I truly admire the message in your entry. I am personally an Italian woman with curves and I'm very proud. And I have had a contest in the past for this promotion of all women are beautiful... however this really wasn't EXACTLY what I was looking for, though as I said, I adore the message, it's just not quite what I'm looking for here, thank you anyway.

love your image thats the dove advert fantastic message good luck

Thank you for commenting on this,I was reading an article about a young girl wanting to starve herself to be a size zero,she thought she wasn't beautiful the way she was,so I decided enough was enough,I blame those celeb magazines and I wanted to do us girls and women justice,this is an important issue in my heart and I am planning on sending this to Real People,a magazine,Hazel

Oh. This a great little poem that you have pened here. I wish that the picture was a little larger thought because I couldn't see it that well. I love the very positive message that this has and that people are willing to stand up and say that it's ok to be healthy and not be too thin. I think a lot of women and girls do get confused because of the media. You did a good job of expressing that.

Terrific
My first impression is this is great. Emotionally it is nice to have someone who doesn't think we have to be paper thin to be important to. I liked all of this and it is not awkward to read and I wouldn't change a thing about it. The title is perfect and the first line is great. the last line says it all.

WONDERFULLY EXPRESSED!!!!
Way to go girl!
Society does indeed put way to much
on how one should look, men as well as women. Ones like us who are just average should stand together and demand that we are equal to them.
-
-
Exactly and I am glad my poem is making people to be proud of their bodies.
-
-
wonderful
I loike this one as a guy I too think that the size zero is unhealthy we should look to renissance painters like ruebens who painted beautiful women as for a mans opnion I too think that all women are beautiful and should not be forced to conform to what society thinks
-
as a bbw i love this poem and as i watch my young daughter grow up see the struggle for her to really apprectiate herself in that sense. i always was taught that never overlook the package because you might miss the gift. thank you for writting this poem and sharing this powerful message
-
-
Thank you for commenting on this,and my message is for young girls and women to know they are beautiful no matter what size they are,and I plan on sending this to Good Morning America,I hope they use this ,you tell your daughter that she is beautiful and to love herself!..God Bless..Hazel

Thank you for commenting on this,I see your only 13 years old and I think thats awesome that you are happy with yourself!,which alot of young girls and women don't,they feel pressured to be thin to be beautiful so I decided to do something about it,now I plan to send this to Good Morning America and I hope they decide to use it and my goal is for young girls and women to know they are beautiful,to love themselves and to know they are real...God Bless and Keep smiling!...Hazel

the truth will out
it is time for a revolution against what we have always been led to believe is beautiful - your words say it the way it needs to be put out there for our daughters - they need to see we are all beautiful -
-
-

I wrote this after reading an article about a young girl wanting to be a size zero,its not healthy and I am glad I wrote this..Hazel
-
-
Bravo!
I agree with this. Sadly, I've spent most of my life trying to reach a size that doesn't suit my body type. It didn't make me any healthier at all then, now, or in the long run. Your words are so true in this poem. I agree with the other comments. You need to send it in.
-
-
I felt the need to write this after reading an article about a young girl who was starving herself to be a size zero and she thought she would look good beautiful so I felt I should write this,you should be proud of your body and your beautiful the way you are,I should send Good Morning America this..I want young girls all over America to see this and know they are beautiful...Hazel
-
-
Thank you for your comment on my poem Beauties of the twenty-first century I really like your poem it is very true and I hope you send it in because it needs to be heard thanks! cont. writing and have fun!
-
-
I will send GMA the poem,needs to be heard and hopefully it will get the message across to young women and girls
-
-
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU GO! Such an awesome message to all girls and women who think all those pictures in half the magazines aren't airbrushed. I weigh 119 lbs, and I'm lucky, but that's just my size, and I love it, but any size woman is still feminine and beautiful. sweet
POETDONTKNOWIT -
I completely agree! I think there are way too many people out there thriving to be a size zero and who will go to the extreme. I was shopping the other day and I held up a medim size shirt and it looked like an XS! I hope a lot of people start realizing that it's not beauty on the outside that matters, it's your inner beauty that matters
-
-
Now I am glad I wrote this,I felt I had to do write this after reading a magazine about a young girl wanting to be a size zero,its so sad and unhealthy,I wanted to do us women justice and I am planning on sending this to Good Morning America,what do you think?....Exactly inner beauty goes way beyond whats on the outside!
-
-
Good Cause!
Damn straight! I've noticed that as celebrities get thinner, the general population gets fatter. Therefore, we have a lot of unhappy people. (Some who are half-starving to death for the sake of their careers and others who wish they had the willpower to starve themselves half to death). -

^.^
right on sister! haha, I hear you though. I much prefer a girl that's beautiful without make up -
-
I don't wear make up bro!...and I am still beautiful,but I read in a magazine about a young girl wanting to be a size zero so she thought she would look good ,I decided enough was enough and decided to write this poem to do girls and women justice.
-
-
all women should be comfortable in their own skin. theres no point fretting about what u cant change. thanks for trying to get the message out there, the media are a disgrace!!!
-
-
Thank you for commenting on this!...I see your from the UK too,thats awesome,you may have heard of this magazine called Real People,I am going to send this poem to them and I hope they decide to publish it so that young girls and women can read this message.

To be a fourteen year old girl and to think like this is awesome. Brilliant piece!

Thank you for commenting on this!..I plan on sending this message all over the world...if young girls and women realise they are beautiful and unique the way they are,thats my goal...I am 21 not 14 LOL I will be 22 on July 26th but thanks for making my day!
-
-
Fantastic dedication to women. You are right, young girls today need support and good, upstanding role models in their lives. Too many are focused on the unnecessary and the results are so very sad. Very nice job Hazel. You are a fine example.
-
-
I am planning on making this a worldwide plea
-

SHOUT IT TO THE MOUNTAIN TOPS
You are totally right...we woman are beautiful...size zero or ten...I love that you wrote this...it needs to be said and to be heard!!! Great Job
-
-
Thats what I plan on doing,LOL,shouting it from the mountain tops..I am glad I wrote this too!
-
-
This should be on a poster, plastered everywhere. It is something each woman should realize, they are beautiful, unique and special - and you dont have to be a size 0!!!
-
-
Now you have given me a new idea to turn it into a poster LOL...Thank you for that!
-
-
you said it girl!
I love this. So strong, and with a will to power through. And you're right - it's sad how far some girls go to look what they call good. -
-
Thank you for commenting on this!....and if more young girls and women read this ,thats my goal,for them to realise they are great the way they are.
