Words

So many critics in our world technology has made it more so Your dress makes you look a tramp, m'dear Sharp opinions wherever we go You are to chubby to be a model and so the cycle starts Young lady born to anorexia words to shape her mind and heart A little boy walks with a noticable limp at recess kids laugh and point fingers he stands all alone, pain in his bones fighting bone cancer that lingers Don't open your mouth or type those words think first about how you would feel if those same words were pointed in your direction use kind words to help people heal

I can relate, but if we put ourselves out there, we have to be willing to take what's out there. Please correct typo or spelling error: "You are to chubby to be a model" Should be: too chubby
