Society


6/02/13


When society says your ugly

You say only in your eyes which don't' matter

When society calls you fat

Say why? Because you can't see my bones?


When society gets loud

Take out headphones, plug them in, tune out the world


in societies terms

No one is beautiful
No one is right
And we are all weak

However, I say

We are all beautiful

We are all right
And we are all strong

It is not we who are ugly
It is society who is blind
