Untypical by Arreyelle Wilson People always say the thinner you are the better That every time you write a letter You should be as thin as the paper you write on That your complexion should be a certain shade And that you should act a certain way Quick News Flash You should celebrate your body and personality with a big bash Don't be ashamed of the body your parents gave you In a way you are like a tree There is no shape to define you All trees are shaped differently whether it be short or tall Big or small It serves its purpose It is not meant to be paraded around like a circus Because every last one of us are fearfully and wonderfully made Just like a tree houses animals our bodies house virtues and a heart too important to trade People say you are at an unhealthy weight or your health could become not all that great Or your skin is not shaded as they say correctly Their words can be like freight crates being dropped on you But never forget that no one has the right to judge you SO yeah you may not be the healthiest weight And you are okay with your state Your complexion may be what society calls the “wrong” shade But don’t let anyone judge you because you are not typical Your shape doesn’t have to be stereotypically biblical But You were made this way for a reason And you are beautiful inside and out For those of you who are hypocrites And whip out your scales and your mirrors Turn the mirror towards you and see what you can improve Do you know that people become consumed with looking perfect because of the way you think they should be dressed or the way their hair should be pressed Or because you think they don’t have the right shape or complexion to match these things of which paint our face
