Always on My Mind
Fat
Skinny
Tall
Short
Your weight must reflect who you are
Don’t wear this if you are fat
Don’t go to the gym if you are skinny
Eat healthy
But not to healthy
Every day I hear these words
I may be fat
But I am me
I am proud
I am strong
But I am also weak
Why are you sad?
People have it worse than you
Why are you happy?
You just failed a test
I hear these words and I scream
“Who are you to tell me how to be me?”
I hate hearing people trying to fix me
But I want to be fixed
I hate watching people hate themselves
But I do the same
It makes me mad knowing I cannot do anything
I am one of them
I hate myself most days
I also give into social ways
I know that I shouldn’t
I cannot believe I do
I wish the world was a place where I could always
Love myself
I wish the world was a better place
So the fat can be fat
So skinny can be skinny
So the tall can be tall
And the short can be short
No social pressure
No more suicide
No more depression
All because of what we look like
No more people telling us what to do
No more people telling us how to do it
I wish the world was a better place
And that is
Always on my mind
