How Do You Define Yourself


We live in a society that knows nothing about respect

So worried about how they appear to others.

They forget about themselves

Losing thereselves in this image

They think will make them more popular

But really makes them more of an outcast.

Your appearance doesn't determine what you are

Or who you are.

But what's inside you that makes you

Whether you're thin, skinny, plus-sized, short or tall

Love the skin you're in.

It's the only body you're going to have

So why not embrace it.
