These days

These days faces blend together,
all becoming one.
These days everyone looks the same,
pretty and thin.
These days everyone is told to love their body,
you are perfect just the way you are.
These days it's beautiful to be tall,
thin,
and graceful,
yet still,
be curvy,
never a stick.
These days women's bodies are still sold,
to profit men,
who crave more than they should have.
These days girls are still afraid to talk,
watching everything they say.
These days boys and girls still separate themselves,
and no one thinks about why.
These days it's only loving yourself,
if any skin is showing.
These days it's only this or that,
never in the middle.
These days the planet is still dying,
and many still ignore how they can change,
for the better of our future.
These days,
These days.
