A Poetic Message to Meghan Trainor
Pride does not go hand in hand with disgrace
You're a beautiful girl as you are
And your words have spread very far
But they are not synonymous with your beauty
I've heard your hateful effigy
Aimed like a knife at those with my similarity
You're nearly three years older than me
But why does it matter that I wear a size 1 tee?
Do you hold the definition of "underweight"
An open invitation to animosity and hate?
Life is not all fun and games when you're small
People shove more food at you than needed
Have you any idea at all?
Do you treat us as you'd like to be treated?
I'm cold year round and making the best
But I'd never score another like a graded test
I did not ask for a body of bones
Or your conspiring input
But this is how He dealt my cards
So please allow me to rock it
Don't try to hide what you've already spewed with contradiction
You've pounded it into our heads like a work of nonfiction
If you were truly proud your head would be high
Unecessary is the sport of shaming we who pass by
I'm not plastic because of my visible ribs
Such an assumption is utterly primitive
You must fancy taking advantage of your skill
And bringing us down to your tropospheric level
There are other ways to cultivate your passion
So take to the stars, use your imagination
Embrace the spirit of true creation
You've got people watching
Millions of teens are listening
We are all as beautiful as you
Even if we have less meat
Do not take away from anyone's God-given grace
But remember these simple words
Pride does not go hand in hand with disgrace

Think we can get Miss "All About That Bass" to see this?
