Changing. the World and Me.


They say my thighs aren’t skinny enough

That my hair isn’t long enough

Or curly enough.

They say my stomoch isn't skinny enough

That my hair isn't skinny enough

That I am not enough

But I don’t care.

This year I am changing my

Thoughts to be clear.

And mind to be clean.

This is how I’m going to be enough.

I am going to influence the world with

My Ideas.

My Actions

Me.

I am going to change the inside,

The part of me not so easily seen.

I am going to change

The World.

My World.

Me.

I am changing.
