I am hated. Have been hated All of my life. People sneered, Laughed, Whispered, Frowned, Glared, Teased. Why? Because I am Slender. Because I am Blonde. Because I am Blue eyed. Because I am Middle class. Because I am White. Because I am "Perfect". But I'm not. I am no more Perfect in the eyes Of this wretched Society than you Or anyone else. Blaming those Different than You is cruel, Even if it is Out of jealousy. Jealousy Ruins, Breaks, Destroys. I have Never Said a hurtful Word towards Anyone's appearance Or social status. Why do so to Me? This is the other side Of oppression. Of racism. Of elitism. Think Before you Speak. My life is not "Perfect". Don't bring me Down Because you think I'm Up. Why hate someone Because they are what Society deems "Acceptable"? We as a whole SURPASS "Acceptable". There is infinite Beauty In each one of our Differences. Forget about those Paper thin "Models" Who model nothing But low self esteem. It is time to be Be your own model; A model for Generations To come. If you take anything From this Feverishly construed Poem, let it be this: Do not Assume One party has it Easier Than You.
