I will no longer bow


I will no longer bow down to body shaming

These thighs, they don't need to hide

Your weak moral standards, I will no longer abide

My body is beautiful, not worthy of maiming 

From my frizzy hair to my painted black toes

Every inch of me is flawless
And I'm no longer afraid to let the world know
