A girl with a small head and a big body

She’s happy in her skin thinks everybody

She never fails a glance at her reflection

Every inch of her body is under detection

She doesn’t want to fail standards of her own

Set by the society, is the tone

Not that she’s over weight

Health hazards are out of her fate

But she’s a girl with a small head and a big body

She wished to look like somebody

Her safari tabs are filled with instructions

How to lose weight and a diet construction

How many she should miss her lunches

Compromise that with fifty more lunges

Calorie calculator opened on one

How much weight can she lose in a month?

Not that anybody forces her

But in her mind there is an ideal figure

She wants to be that at any cost

Amongst a crowd of everybody she wants to be lost

She doesn’t understand she has an identity

That’s only hers she’s that one entity

She’s beautiful, she’s real

Who decides what is the ideal!?

She’s hardworking, she’s approachable

She’s respected and she’s capable

The size of her waist cannot determine

Whether she’s great or just fine

She hopes to find love someday

But she fails to understand that what come may

The one who it is will appreciate her

Her flabs and cellulite will not matter

It is her which is the highlight of herself

And day in day out it isn’t her body, but her who excels.
