Be You

Location

​Society fucks us all,
And we let our ears see it all!



I could not look at anyone into there eyes,
Cause I was scared they will point and yell,
"Look at that girl over there."



Just keeping my head on the low,
And looking nothing but below,
Was the right way for me to go.



Everyday I will go home,
Look at the mirror and see nothing but gross.



My jeans didn't fit right,
While my hips were too wide.



The only thing I wanted to be flat was my stomach,
But instead it was my ass.



Oh gosh!! And that double chin,
It had to be a sin,
When will I ever be thin? 



I would envy the skinny girl,
They will eat all the calories,
But in reality,
It was all in my mentality!



See the thing is I wasn't fat,
I wasn't huge either.
It was just the society,
That made me feel bigger.



Pleasing society was like,
Taking away my happiness.



Just stop crying,
Before you end up dying.



And be you.
