Who created your image

Location

Who told you that blue eyes are better than brown?

That long hair is better than short?

that theres is superiority in your complexion?

 

Self worth is not skin deep,

its in the beauty of originality, in differences.

It's in the curiosity of someone thinking quicker, or slower, or just differently than yourself.

 

Yet you'll wear your clothes like everyone else,

do your hair the way the girl in your English class does

and your makeup the way the girl in your Math class does.

 

Did they teach you how to think?

How to fit in

How to exist

Did they create your image?

 

It should have been you.
