You’re so fat; you’re so dark.

You’re so gay, and you’re so thin.

This is our daily bread.

Waking up every day to be bashed by society.

Waking up every day to be called by different names.

We live in a world that’s clouded by hatred

So that they can’t see the light in others.

We have been body-shamed and have received all kinds of hate speech.

And yet we still wake up every day strong.

We have teens finding solutions to suicide.

We are finding solutions to overdoses.

Isn’t that message enough?

As we all know, people come in different shapes, sizes and colours.

It is OK to be different.

You’re beautiful; let your dark skin shine.

You’re gorgeous; embrace your size.

There is beauty in imperfection.

If there’s not a thing that you could change

Then you’re perfect just the way you are.
