What I Say

Location

They say  to act your age.

They say  to be strong.

They say  to always be lady like.

They say to be skinny to be pretty.

They say  to watch your opinion so no one is offended. .

Who are they anyway?

Why does there opinion matter so much?

I say  stop listening to what they say.

I say act how we want.

I say it is okay to be weak in at times.

I say it's okay to be one of the guys.

I say your beautiful the way God made you. 

I say stand for something even if others don't like it.

Why continue to hide behind the mask? 

Why not be who you are?
