Poem
They always say you can't be beautiful Without being skinny as a stick But damn it society I want to be seen and I want to be... beautiful in my own way Before the blood drips on the floor from the scratches in my arm from the pain inside my heart don't you understand You're making this too hard on us us girls with a little extra weight us girls with bumps on our face just shut up I'm sick and tired of this This shouldn't have to be my fate I don't want to die to be seen and heard to be recognized as someone beautiful... But isn't that the only way? When a society you thought you knew is telling you that you can't be beautiful without having to fit some social standard that's bull*****don't you understand That's why so many teenagers are dying every day I want to be pretty without having to change is that too much to ask I want to be loved without having to change who I am! By a girl instead of a man Let me live my own life stop telling me that I can't! Society you're killing us all making us take our life because you all can't understand that being who you are is what makes you beautiful But we have to take a knife to our throat to make you all see the beauty inside of us Can't you let us be. I want to be beautiful... but I just don't know how when everyone around me is telling me how to live Make this stop This pain and suffering Let us all be equal A whole No more hurt no more sorrow no more suicide Just make it stop...
