The Bigger Picture

by MARs

It's so tiny, the cropped too shirt.

She's so tiny, people fawn over her.

She's so tiny, with a itybity waist,

I'm so embarrassed, I turn and hid my face.

Body image is very important, at least that's what they say.

"You're beautiful how you are." Now I don't know what to say.

You can be nice but then hateful the next day.

You didn't invite me to yours, so I'll have my own party on Friday.

We have plus size in the house,

Size x,

No zero.

Forget Taylor Swift,

Rebel Wilson's my hero.

Be true to yourself,

Only you can change yourself,

And nobody else.

Size plus,

Size X,

Size XXL,

Put the photoshop down,

This is who we are,

Whether plus size,

Or X,

Or oven just large,

Put the self hate down.

This. Is. Who. We. Are.
