A Perfect Society


We live in a world,

so full of hate.

We live in a world,

where that hate

is directed towards ourselves.

 

We point out every flaw,

and slowly begin 

to hate ourselves,

Hate our bodies,

Our laugh,

Our smile,

Our feet,

Our hair,

Our eyes,

Our everything.

 

Can't we live in a world

Where our flaws

Are what make us Beautiful?

 

Or will that never exist?

Love yourself.

Your imperfections

are what make you,

perfect.

 

Love that zit,

it won't be there forever you know.

Love the way your thighs touch,

One day you won't be able to tell.

Love yourself.

Please.
