I understand when people get upset, When seeing skinny girls in magazines. And think that that’s the kind of size, That a girl must be. But then people turn around, And say being skinny isn’t right. They say those models need to gain some weight, And wear a bigger size. I get so tired of it all sometimes, People always talking about the “perfect figure.” I am 5’8, and 110 pounds, And yes, I’d like to be a bit bigger. I don’t put my hand down my throat, And purge constantly. I don’t exercise 24/7, And yes, I do actually eat. I feel so bad for overweight people, When they feel so insecure. Somehow they got it in their mind That being skinny was the cure. But don’t you realize, That when you are a size one? You still get picked on, And constantly made fun of? You see, by trying to be helpful, To those who wear a bigger size. People often put down those Who are on the skinny side. God, I get so sick of it, This “perfect figure” thing has gone too far. Why can't we just love ourselves, And accept everyone as they are?Birth sign: Sagittarius
