Regardless of size, putting your life on hold until you reach that perfect weight, does no one any good.
This will be my collection of poems reflecting on societies obsession with weight and size and the effect this has on us and how we can change...
I see the way, your smile conceals, The pain inside, of how they try to make you feel, Less than them, because there's more of you, Keep smiling bright, don't let them get to you.
It's thanks to beauties like you, that there's hope for me, I take courage from your journey, it helps to make me see, That it shouldn't matter about the size, of the clothes you wear, It's about the confidence you have, the elegance and flair.
Once again this was inspired by an online blogger who advocates body positivity. However sadly, some people feel justified in commenting and making her feel less, because there is more of her. I just wanted to thank her, and others, for the inspiration they give to me and many other people. As if it wasn't for positive role models like them, we would be subjected to images that were not only unachievable but damaging to self confidence and self belief.
