"the disfunctional Ramblings of an Unorganized Mind"


Since when is being a size 8 considered fat?
Since when can a girl only be beautiful with makeup?
Since when must guys constantly
work out to be attractive?

Why is there only one type of right music to listen to?
Why must girls have a curvy body?
Why are they labelled ugly if they
don't?

Why are the boy and the girl with
kinky black curls considered less
appealing than the ones that have
long flowing blonde hair?
Why are they ridiculed for not
wearing the right clothes?
Why are we wrong for not wanting to
fit in?

If we stopped listening to how society thinks
we should be,
we should act,
what we should look like,

You would realize
We were born to be real not perfect
