Body Shaming By Victoria Omoghena Edidi by VictoriaOmo: 1:27pm On Apr 17, 2020 |
You're too tall! You're damn short You are black! You're fading away. Will you ever get fat? You've got to lose some weight! These words and many more Were thrown at us on a daily basis Till we began to hate our very selves. We couldn't stand our looks So we shyed away from mirrors And all things that'll open us up To our true nature. We hid behind masks Trading our beauty for their vanity Conforming to their pictures Till we had no idea who we were. We lost all sense of self And knew not the way back. We struggled for their approval Strived to make the bar Which was always raised a step higher Till we felt that we would snap. We couldn't keep up with man And his insatiable appetite We needed to put a stop to it And so we did. Each day now met us at the mirror Where we stood in awe of the beauty Our eyes were opened to see. We appreciated our every flaws Our scars and our struggles We determined to ever help us Become better versions of us And refuse to be put down by anyone. We are unique, we are beautiful We choose to accept us for who we are And refuse to bend to the mould of men We are unique. We are UNIQUE! Models: Efe Enas and Ndibe Carita 1 Like

If we take what people throw at us as verdict, we fizzle away with melting. It has been a while, hope you are good? |

Very much true. There is the need to love ourselves the way we are and make the necessary improvements. It's really been a while. I've been good. I just wasn't able to really write anything until recently. Thanks. |
