Should I have another slice?
Taste its cheesy delight
I’ve already tasted it twice
But there’s no reason to be so uptight.

There is so much pressure on ladies
to always eat the right amount
To look as sleek as cars from Mercedes
But that shouldn't be what beauty is about.

Beauty comes from inside
From the personality that lies within
Women should not have to hide
Who they really are, with chagrin

So I will have that third piece
and eat it without a self-esteem decrease.

I love it!!!! It's so perfectly well said ^____^ I do eat whatever I desire and however I desire and I'm surely proud of being ME... Every woman should feel beautiful, strong, brave and proud of who she truly is. As you said: The beauty comes from inside. This is the real beauty ;-D I really loved your poem, so touching, truthful, powerful and meaningful... So thank you very much for sharing this. Keep up the great inspirational work and let the world be amazed ^___^
