Your Body is Your Body

People body shame people.

Why do they do it?

Do they have other things to be worried about?

This world is full of mindless delinquents

Who have no joy in their lives

Like those people who just shout out nonsense

“OH MY GOD, RELATIONSHIP GOALS!”

“OH MY GOD, SHE’S SO FAT!”

 

Your body is your body.

You might not have willowy thighs that do not touch like a Victoria’s Secret model

You might not have abdominals that are so flat, it’s going to disappear right after you eat That last piece of cherry pie

You might not even have a perfect sized butt or breasts or muscle nor abs

But a body that makes you unique

Whether you’re thin, thick, short or tall

 

Your body is your body.

What the girls and boys say is a comment on their skin than it is of yours

Your body is not the king or queen that is hypnotizing your brain to make you their butler

YOU ARE the kings and queens that only controls it

Your body is your body

“Skinny is beautiful”

“Ew, fat is unattractive, get the hell away from it.”

“I like boys who have a nice body.”

Or

“I like girls who are skinny.”

Society has taught us to change the way we look and who we are

I guess that’s what everyone is doing nowadays

 

Your body is a canvas,

You are the artist who is making it look phenomenal and you are expressing it

You can tattoo it, pierce it, paint it, do whatever that transforms you into the person you’ve always wanted to become

I’m not just talking about all the females, but to the males; they might be feeling the same way

 

You’re a grand masterpiece

You’re a work of art

Not everyone will understand you, but the ones who do, will never forget about you

Your body is your body

Be comfortable

Love yourself
