You are Wrong.


To the guys who told me

"I thought you loved me"

To the guys who told me

"come on baby, just fo it for me"

To the guy who told me

"I can't wait to show you who's in charge"

 

To the magazines that taught me 

how to be sexy

To the songs that told me

I have to play hard to get

To the photos and media that told me

I will be loved if I take off my clothes:

 

I now know you are wrong.

I am beautiful

I am strong.

 

I don't need you to tell me who to be

I am me

I am who I want to be

I am how I should be.
