I went to my schools carnival and what I saw

I saw a girl in the bathroom at school

Puffy eyes and tears all down her face

I asked her whats wrong and she said to not tell

She said shes too fat and she doesn’t fit in

she said people will make fun of her if shes seen

She was not fat not even a little so I told her that

she looked shocked and looked at me like I was lying and she said

have you not seen the girls in the magazines?

I told her that the girls in the magazines are not perfect

a lot are photoshopped too she still didn’t believe me and just left.

It was sad that the media made people feel so insecure and sad.

Maybe one day people will realize that everybody’s different

and its not bad.
