Our value as women is disregarded,
compromised.
When we are anything other than the body
constructed for us,
we are outcast,
we are treated as an anomaly.
We are expected to wear makeup and
look pretty.
Our bodies are used to promote products,
treated as no more than an outlet for revenue.
But when we accept our bodies
(thus showing some skin),
we become shameful.
We lose our credibility.
We become
the dirt
that we walk on.
But we are so much more than that.
