Blinded By Influence If you could block out Every other standard And opinion and only Focus on yours Would you still hate your appearance? If the only expectations Set for your body Were your own, Would they still Be so high? The world is Flip-turned Backwards Everyone has these Extremely high expectations Of themselves Due to everyone else’s Perception of “beautiful” And no one has Any justification For the Miscommunication Of this so-called “United Nation” And the rest of the world For that matter Because no one Seems to grasp The concept of Individualism And letting people Form their own opinions Of themselves Without society’s Influence on them.
