Sticks and Curves


Fat, Skinny, Anorexic Have we learned that these words mean nothing? Just merely a label to put on someone for the time being When will we learn that we don't have to answer to these names All of them are the same Just words, that's all they are We don't need to answer to these names Beautiful, Pretty Luminous That's what we should answer to If any label, that's the label that should be put on us Fat, Skinny, Anorexic ... all just a size Not defining our true beauty In the least Beautiful, Pretty, Luminous ... these are the names we should answer to
