You are beautiful

A tight t-shirt and shorts, I’m teasing the sun 

We’re going on a vacation, I’m ready to have fun 


But why’s everyone giggling? Why’s there big eyes? 

Oh, cause I have bulky tummy and thick thighs 

Then floods criticism and comments on my body 

‘Girl, you’re fat, you shouldn’t dress up like that’ 

‘Hey, look at your body, is eating your hobby?’

And then comes some advice, repeating it twice 

‘Drink lemon juice and lose weight or you’ll never get a date’ 

‘Hit the gym and sweat, you’ll be slim I bet’ 

It’s annoying but still I have a smile 

You know what, I have a reply 


‘Aww..you care for me but I’m fine 

I love myself as I am 

Nobody’s perfect neither am I 

I’m not embarrassed, I’m not shy 

I’m confident enough, don’t need wings to fly 

You might find me as an object of ridicule 

Never mind, I’m there for myself to say you’re beautiful’
