To those of you who read this, Who feel like they don't belong, Who feel that they are the jagged puzzle piece, Let me tell you one word that describes who you are: Brave You stare into the cruel faces of the ones who belittle you, Who have made you feel like you are nothing Like you are too fat Too thin Too ugly *A **** A freak *A ****** *A ****** You stare deep into their eyes and with all of your might you tell them, I am braver than you I am stronger than you. You will NOT be defined, You will NOT be dominated by the perfect society we apparently live in You will NOT be contained like animals in the cages of your despair and live in the shadows. Together, we will revolt against the ones who have pushed us into the dirt We are soldiers. We march in unison with our heads held high and the shining sun of pride on our backs, We are the renegades who will accomplish the mission who will wave the sweet flag of victory above us, We are the people who are perfect. Please remember, dear readers: You are more than a number on the scale You are more than a social stereotype You are more than the blade you hold between your fingers YOU ARE BRAVE
