Because I don't look like

what is portrayed as "perfection,"

countless tears have been shed

over this social deception.

Telling myself I'm not good enough,

or that I will never be,

has brought me so far down before,

to a place nobody should ever see.

But enough is enough,

all this self-deprecation and loathing must end.

If just one thing could be changed,

it would be to amend

this society's view of "perfect,"

or rather remove it completely,

so nobody ever feels self-hatred and depression,

about what genes make up their body.
