This is the subconscious belief
That marketing today uses
It feeds off of our insecurities that it knows we have
We search for acceptance from it
So we extend our naive necks to its fangs
Until it bleed us dry
Pocketing our money for its own greed

Makeup
It tells us that in our natural state
We. Are. Not. Enough.
That blemish
Cover it up
Those sparse eyebrows
Draw them in
That wide nose
Slim it down
You’ll become beautiful
I promise
Just give me $150

High heels
It tells us that in our natural height  
We. Are. Not. Enough.
You may be 5’ 1 or 5’ 7 but wear this
It might add maybe an inch or two
It’ll be worth the pain
I promise
Just give me $70

Push up bras
Tell us that in our natural size
We. Are. Not. Enough.
Whether you’re an AA or DD
An extra bit of padding and lift
Will make you more desirable
I promise
Just give me $40

These are only a few products
There is still
Plastic surgery
Fillers
Waist trainers
Facetune
Photoshop
The list goes on and on

When are you going to make the decision
To learn to love yourself unconditionally
To demonstrate acceptance towards yourself
Since nobody else can
Because they too are stuck in this vicious cycle
Make the conscious decision today
Instead of giving it to society subconsciously for forever

In simple words
It saved me from insanity
made my reality, beautiful
I discovered a language
I could speak
Talk to people
I love
It made my home
It sheltered me
A safe asylum
Where all my dreams
are alive
Beyond the reach
of any harm.

The sun is shining bright
And the sky is so blue
And the birds are whisting too
And on this beautiful sunny morning
I'm so in love with you..

I'm watching the birds fly in the the summer sky
Waving the summer goodbye and
I wish that I was flying with them
But I'm here to stay,
Holding my beautiful wife every day
My heart beats for her love every day
And we listen to the gentle breeze blowing
Through the trees,
And the sun is
Shining bright through the trees
In my arms she'll be
And forever safe in my heart beating
Forever with me..
True Love 💓

Lazy clouds drift by
White billows in azure sea
Pregnant with raindrops
