Day 23 : insecurities

They tell you you're chubby,

They say your size determines your worth.

So you stop eating,

All the food here on earth.

You spends lots of money,

Chasing all the trends.

But they don't seem to notice.

So the cycle never ends.

You look in the mirror,

And it's not beauty that you see.

The media has influenced you,

To see flaws that shouldn't be.

Instead of a pair of eyes,

that see perfectly;

You wonder why you eyelids,

Aren't perfect symmetry.

You scroll through your news feed,

You think mockery is so cool.

"He's fat! She's ugly"

My dear,

You really are the fool.

If you think that judging others,

Is something you can do.

Please be aware,

There are millions prettier (handsomer) than you.

Take your insecurities,

And learn to wear it with pride.

Have a different take on life,

And realise there's nothing really to hide.

Your imperfections may be prominent,

But you're still lucky to be alive.
