Her thighs may rub together, her boobs may not be pert,
That doesn't mean she doesn't have feelings, it doesn't mean she can't be hurt.
If you demean another person, just because there's more to them than you,
That makes you so much less of a person, please try and change your point of view.
Don't judge so quickly with your words, assuming that they must be persuaded,
To shrink to fit your way of thinking, leaving them feeling upset and degraded.
Instead keep your opinions for your own life, let others be happier in theirs,
You'll be a better person for it, rather than being the cause of someone's tears.
This is a message to all the people out there who feel they have the right to judge someone based on their appearance. Who feel it's okay to suggest ways for them to change, assuming they are not happy with who they are. Whilst admittedly there are many of us who are striving for that happiness, there are also many who are already happy. Fully content with who they are. They should not be made to feel this is not right, that they should be wanting to change. Just to adhere to their ideals. Don't assume to know the best for someone else. Keep that for yourself and let them be the best judge of what is best for them. This will make you a better person, rather than causing another to feel not good enough.
