Insecurity Taking Over

When your not happy with yourself ask why
Is it because of that toothbrush in your bag you had on standby
You may not enjoy your body but many people don't
But just like King James have those thoughts overthrown
Some people can't even gain weight
That's why most of their lives are filled with hate
So come, sit and contemplate
Look in the mirror is this what you really hate
Your body is a temple 
Which you need to worship
Those hurtful words that were brought to you need to be zipped
Because people love you for you, not the shape 
So graduate from this conversation like a summa cum lauda
Because your the most important person in your life
So spread your wings and thrive
Because a rose is still a rose even when its petals fall off
