Their Size
To all the girls who aren't perfect, you are beautiful. Never let them tell you different
People don’t know
Don’t want to know
How hard it can be
To be that girl.
Getting nothing but watered down criticism
Spewing from the ones we trust most,
then not have ANYONE to tell us different.
We just want to hear
Your perfect
Or beautiful
Or at least ok as you are.
But we don’t.
So the question remains
How to we stay confident and strong
When the only voice speaking
Is the one trying to cut us down to size.
Their size.
How can we stand in pride when we look around
And all they fantasize about are size 0
DD
Blonde
While we are a size bigger then 0
B
And plain.
How do we deal?
We hide under masks of confidence
But cry as we think we must change
And hear no argument in return.
I just wanted to hear
Your not…
You don’t need to lose…
I love you the way you are.
But I didn’t.
So tonight Im not strong.
Im not brave.
Im big.
