I am not a barbie
I am not a Barbie 
 I am not made from cold, hard, plastic,
 I am warm.
 Blood runs through my veins, I have skin, I have a heart beat.
 I am woman, I have a body, I have curves,
 but I do not have disproportionately large breasts, that men drool over. 
 I do not allow men to drool over me, I have dignity.
 I am not an object.
 I have a mind, I am intelligent.
 I will not be played with, like a doll.
 I respect myself,
 I do not flaunt my body.
 I do not wear skimpy clothing, and I do not take revealing photos of myself.
 I am modest, because my body is temple.
 My stomach is not flat, but I love it, I can create a human being inside of it.
 My legs are not long and lean, but they support my body, and take me on journeys. 
 They are incredible.
 I do not wear heals on a daily basis.
 I hardly ever wear heels.
 My feet are flat, like the ground the walk on.
 I have flaws, but they are what make me beautiful. 
 I can speak
 I have a voice, I can raise it
 my opinion is valuable, it could be the answer to all your questions. 
 I am not a Barbie, I may not be a stereotypical beauty, but I am beautiful.
