The Rejected Woman

Hey you, the girl with the tiger stripes on her thighs,

I love you,

From your tippy toes to your eyes,

Hey you, The girl with the extra cushion,

You're inspiring to me,

You're what makes me keep pushing,

There are so many woman that we never give a chance,

So much potential,

But we never spare that glance,

She is the rejected woman,

The plus size,

The fat girl,

She is the un-noticeable woman,

The short one,

The tall one,

The one who isn't quite perfect,

She is me,

And you,

And you,

And us.

We are the rejected woman,

Hey you, the one judging her,

I love you, too,

Even if you don't love me, sir.

Hey you, the one who takes their insecurities out on others,

You aren't alone,

Don't say anything to her that you wouldn't say to your mother,

We make these standards that we have to be pretty,

But what about when I'm feeling shitty?

Or when I feel down,

And all I can really do is frown?

When my jeans don't fit,

Or when I get a rip,

When I go up a size,

And I have cellulite on my thighs,

I'm the rejected woman but I will not criticize,

I will not live a lie, I will not be that guy

that says that I need to be small to be perfect.

Because being me is as perfect as I'll ever be.

So...

Hey you, you rejected girl,

Stand up for yourself

And help change the world.
