Girls of the world Do you remember When they told you, To love your body And to love yourself- Regardless of your Shape, size, skin? Girls of the world Do not believe Their hateful lies. Girls of the world Hate your body And change it until It's perfect- Because you will never Be loved, accepted Even if you love yourself. Girls of the world I thought it would All fall into place. Girls of the world I loved my body And was comfortable In MY skin But those I loved most Could not love me For the skin I was in. Girls of the world Beauty is not subjective It is precise. Girls of the world Do not fall into the trap Of thinking you are: Beautiful, perfect in your own way Because you are not You can only be Perfect in one way.

Self-Acceptance
Girls of the world Do you remember When they told you, To love your body And to love yourself- Regardless of your Shape, size, skin? Girls of the world Do not believe Their hateful lies. Girls of the world Hate your body And change it until It's perfect- Because you will never Be loved, accepted Even if you love yourself. Girls of the world I thought it would All fall into place. Girls of the world I loved my body And was comfortable In MY skin But those I loved most Could not love me For the skin I was in. Girls of the world Beauty is not subjective It is precise. Girls of the world Do not fall into the trap Of thinking you are: Beautiful, perfect in your own way Because you are not You can only be Perfect in one way.
