It is a sickening word
That most ladies with a conscience,
Would never throw at anybody else.
So why would you use it on yourself?
Do not use it to describe my body.
The media uses it enough to their advantage.
When "Plus Sized" it considered a size ten.
They use it to coerce little girls,
Into buying hair and makeup products.
And they hope to make a role model
Out of some photoshopped Barbie doll.
Instead they soil a child's self image.
We put each other down
And we beat ourselves down twice as hard.
Let us think of this from a different perspective for a minute.
What constitutes in our world as ugly?
Webster's definition would be something along the lines of,
Displeasing to the senses.
But what does that really mean?
It can mean different things to different people, and it does.
It means that words like ugly, worthless,
And especially fat
Should be removed from our verbal vernacular.
