Too skinny, they say,

need to eat this and that.

I would die for your body,

I feel so fat.

Too fat, they than say,

need to lose some more weight.

everything that "they" say,

is filled with blind hate.

But take a step back,

and than you will see,

all that they say,

is worthless to me.

Who gave them the right,

to push me around.

Who told them to kick me,

when I'm already down.

Moreover, who told me,

put stock in what they say.

The things that they tell you can make or break your day.

But when I look inside,

I smile, and see,

all that truly matters is that 

I

Love

Me
