Just because you have a mouth,
Doesn't mean you have to use it.
My mind lives in a world where
Ears listen in on disgusting
News about other
Innocent people.
It's not fair to keep
The hurt where no
One can reach it
To help the tears keep from
Running down hill away
From sight.
Judgement tells another story.
Laughter and finger pointing
Towards you
Is tragic.
Bombs blow up add grenades
Hit your soul, destroying it.
You always need to take
Cover from the enemy.
Hiding your face
And yourself from what
Could possibly kill
Your dignity.
Trying to seek help
Is impossible.
The therapy,
The sessions
The on going hell,
Can't escape it.
Society always paints a
Portrait of fake people
And fake lives.
Have you ever taken a
Look at different types
Of sizes except zero?
I'm afraid for my
Future.
To see where people take
Us into reality.
What will be next?
Being made fun of for beauty?
Every girl I know wants
To be thin,
Beautiful,
Sexy,
Fit,
And liked by others.
Televisions,
Magazines,
Internet,
And stores make it a
Battlefield.
Man down.
We want to be popular.
With the long hair,
Slim Body,
With carmel skin.
Basically,
To be perfect.
No one is perfect.
Yes, society makes yours
Mind believe
Otherwise.
But you need to stop
Climbing the mountain.
Drop your tools
And breathe.
Stop painting you
Fake picture and
Tear it down
With the rest.
Society needs to realize
It's not alll about
The size zero,
Commercials,
Other people.
It's all about you.
Look in the mirror.
Look at yourself.
Paint your own picture.
Take your favorite colors
and draw yourself.
Paint your life.
No one should be
Able to put a label
On you.
You need to push them
Away and take
Your own label.
Non of this should be a
War for you to handle.
You should be able to
Carry your own weight
And not have someone else's
On your back.
From morning to night,
Your picture should not just
Hang on a wall,
It should travel the world.
See new faces and
Meet new cultures.
No one should tell you
What to do.
Take your pride and stand up
In your trench.
Be a soldier.
Take the enemy out.
Once your finished,
Go to the place you call home.
Take a pretty frame.
Put your picture in and
Hang it on your favorite wall.
Stand back and look.
What do you see?
You.
Someone you fought hard
For and won.
Those tools and sweat you put
Into it, made your frame.
What we call, a mirror
