A Strange Universe

Daring to Be Different

I am my own person.

I am a savage at heart.

Sometimes it’s hard for me to dress the part.

Why? Because society expects me to look a certain way.

My hair must always be tamed.

My outfits have to match.

But what if I don’t want them too?

Some say girls aren’t pretty unless they wear makeup

Why? Because society expects the world to look a certain way.

I am daring to walk out of the house with a fro and some weird clothing.

Who will look at me strange?

Suzy? Brittany or Joe?

I’ve been daring to dress apart and be myself.

Let’s talk about the weight. That topic is so heavy.

The word fat is often used too many times.

What weight are we all really supposed to be?

“120? 260? Or 100? The world is uneven and so are we.

No one is the same so let’s be strange for a while.
