Paint the picture society wants
Not too skinny, not too fat
You can't cover everything up, boys don't like that
But hookup with more than one guy and now you're a whore.
Don't wear too much makeup, but not too little,
They'll tell you that you need more.
We're judged left and right, no one's thought about the long term effects.
That girl you called a slut? She's run home to add to the cuts on her arm.
That boy being bullied and beaten up? Turned to alcohol and drugs he'll later regret.
Think before you speak or type, think before you cause someone bodily harm.
Spread love, spread kindness, spread joy.
Stop the hate, stop the negativity, stop before you are to blame for harm or death of that girl or boy.
(a/n: this is the least depressing poem i have written, i hope it still speaks volumes, please be kind.)
