The One Commandment

The One Commandment

I live in a world where “Though Shalt be Fabulous” is the only Commandment,

I fall asleep alone knowing my bed has been made but I had no hand in it.

In this world God has a six pack and the angels have tans,

Tell me, is that all it takes to be a man?

Hair shall be plucked and tweezed and not one strand must fall out of place,

And to be wanted you better have a perfectly symmetrical face.

Don't be silly it doesn't matter if you're rich,

But If you want to fit in you better wear Abercrombie and Fitch.

When it comes to this game I'm always losing,

It's the more perfect beautiful boys that they are constantly choosing.

I may not have the style or body of which they've dreamed,

but when it comes to my heart and soul I reign supreme.

If our eyes cannot penetrate the skin and see what's within,

Then I'm afraid I'm never destined to win.

Because I'm not fabulous as it is plain to see,

And to them the greatest sin I can commit is simply being me.
