More than a number...

More than a number...

I'm a beating heart,
I'm a shining star,
I have skinny dreams,
I burst at the seams,
I'll start on Monday,
I'll dig out my scales,
Sometimes, I struggle breathing,
An image in a long mirror,
Oh, how I hate that feeling,
Frumpy?
Lumpy?
Beauty pressure,
Tape measure,
Utter shambles?
Love handles?
Maybe pleasure?
Do we ever accept ourselves?
Airbrushed magazines sell,
This is not projecting the healthy,
It's only improving the wealthy,
This is a plastic reality!
It's Barbie girl insanity!
Wake up from this fake slumber,
We're more than just a number!
Wake up from this fake slumber,
We're more than just a number!
You, are more!
