It takes 10 seconds to body shame ourselves
It takes 10 minutes to overdose from these wicked words we label ourselves as
We look at the number 10 and see an even number
We look at the number 10 and imagine a bill with Alexander Hamilton on it
But you don't realize that 10 is the representation of you, me, us
We stand before a mirror, but without having to look at it, we're all 1's
1 beautiful person
Now we look at the mirror, but we see a 0
We see ourself as society calls it, "fat"
0 self-esteem
You are a 10 out of 10
Your beauty
Your personality
Your intelligence
You
You are a 10 out of 10
Not 1 or 0
10
