Measure by Numbers
Numbers and sizes
do not
can not define you.
They could never show a beautiful
heart, soul, or mind.
Stretch marks, acne, or birthmarks
can’t show
the type of person you are.
Don’t let anyone tell you
that they are better
because their numbers
are lower,
busts bigger,
or waists smaller.
Never
stand for it.
Fight back.
Be strong.
Show off that
just because
your pant size is
in the double digits,
that your
breasts may not be
“big enough”,
that you are better
than them
and their
slow-minded,
shallow-hearted,
ignorant ways.
You,
with your kind heart
and love of all things food;
You,
with your small waist
and acne scars;
You,
with your self-tolerance
and open mind;
Can
Rise
Up,
and say “EFF YOU!”
to numbers
and the society
that defines personal worth
by their size and appearance.
