READ ALL ABOUT IT!
READ ALL ABOUT IT!
But do you really?
A boy in the back of the class scars on his wrist.
The girl in the front throws up to keep her figure.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH US?
We have lived by what society has told us is correct but what is truly right?
Is it right to hate yourself because you don’t fit in?
If you’re not cookie-cut perfection does that mean you need to change?
OF COURSE NOT!
Stop listening to what the tabloids tell you.
If you are a measly-little-five pounds over a hundred you’re not over weight.
If you like black you’re not Goth, you just like black.
Be who you are because at the end of the day no one has to live with you,
Accept you.
READ ALL ABOUT IT!
You are perfect.
Now that’s the news we should want to read.

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” - Mad Hatter
