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.
