"Barbie Doll" by


"Everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs."



This poem was of personal interest to me. It was a relevant and totally understandable commentary on today's society. I've played with Barbies all my life, and I remember how I idolized them. Every day, girls have that same image put in their face. They see that and think that's what they have to look like. Then, when they grow up, and they don't look like that, they get plastic surgery or wear makeup to change themselves. Girls don't realize that they don't have to look like Barbie dolls.
