square peg in a round hole


The world hated her

not just for what she wasn't, but for what she was

she didn't strive to be the size 00 model 

she wasn't a material person

she didn't want to be another face in the crowd

she didn't want to be naive and accept what she was told without question

she didn't want to be told how to live her life

so she resolved to defy society and piss off the world

she learned to love her body, her size 9 body

she appreciated the qualities things and people had within, not on the surface

she strove to make a name for herself

she was hell bent on discovering the real motives and facts, questioning everything she was told

she decided to be bold and unapologetically herself 

she resolved to be authentic and to live by her own terms

and this is what truly terrified the world

kinda grungy, kinda hippie, kinda lazy bum with bug dreams. I don't belong in this decade, clearly.
