Don't Leave Humanity in Ruins


Do not tear at your mirror

Do not pull at your skin

I know you are used to losing

But today you will win

 

You are stronger than you think

You are a contradiction to the lies

Everyone is beautiful

No matter the width of your thighs

 

Just walk past people in town

And preach the beauty of humans

Otherwise the town you past

Will soon be left in ruins

 

One day you'll believe the words 

That I will ask you to repeat today

Say to yourself  "I am gorgeous"

And your world will no longer be gray
