They tell me ‘To be perfect, be a size zero’,
But zero is nothing, zero’s not a hero.
I want to be someone, I want to be big,
But now more important is to be fit.
But I love my food! The way it smells…
The euphoria in my mouth when I feel the taste.
I want to eat what I want, without guilt and hate.
I want to love my curves, my body, myself…
But for these curves people rudely gape.
When I look in the mirror I see a perfect shape,
Thin waist and big bum, Greek goddess of sex.
The women call me fat, but I’m just perfect for men,
I guess the society has just gone insane.
We diet and become repulsive, then we want to loose again,
Despite the health damage, the struggle and pain.
They are just stupid, I won’t play that game.
I will not destroy myself.
Not for the sick society’s sake.
I'm sometimes wondering why people always judge. I hate today's society for the pressure it puts on being thin. We are responsible for the eating disorders and people dying, dying to be thin. Sometimes I just want to sit down with my friend and have some pizza, but then i see one more add on TV telling me that if i'm not thin I won't be beautiful. Lately i managed to get better, I just no longer care what people think about the way i look. I think I'm beautiful and that's what's really important. After all, I live for myself, not for random people who judge me when they see me on the street.

Society evolves alongside with mankind as it is influenced entirely by the common man's perception, thus the concept of beauty changes alongside with man because it's a subjective concept we keep trying to objectify.
