Different Shades of Blue

How can you say such stuff Saying that I’m not enough When I look at myself looking back You say there’s something I lack Being big or being thin Why does the lies win? Saying your weight is bad Maybe you should lose a tad Wondering why you had upsets There’s no safety nets Many teens struggle on a daily When they think their crazy Because they think their overweight Because of the tiny bit of food they ate That a size 5 in jeans is fat Wondering what’s wrong with that? It’s just games moving through your head Trying to get lies to get ahead Saying your not what you could be Or should see But you’re just fine without a change But they say you're strange What is society trying to do What is it doing to you? Making up BS to take away your love For how you look at your shape You just know that you hate Because thoughts that mess with our minds Cause things that can be so unkind Until you know that body image Made all these girls so timid About themselves

Hi Juliana, Beautiful and to the core of what one might be thinking if the body is out of so called shape ( I see nothing wrong with shape its not there soul ) lots of emotional sadness and trapped feelings,, my poem ' LOVE ' is how I TRY to feel about me :))) hugs from Ireland
