More Than Just My Skin


"Hey, baby, looking hot tonight!" "Don't you want some of this, good lookin?" "Stupid bitch! Can't take a fucking compliment!" If it isn't some one on the street making my skin crawl It's the friends that tell me I should eat It's the girls that instead of sticking up for one another, they call each other whores and bitches. Meat, is for men. Only dogs like bones. We try tirelessly to make ourselves more desirable Buy this cream, and try that powder And even if it helps me feel more powerful I still feel so empty?

And no matter what I do They judge me on my skin Whether I show too much or not enough Whether it's natural or concealed If I'm fat, if I'm thin, If I'm different Isn't it time we start taking a look at what's within? Before judging others, aren't I more than just my skin?
