Blame the World

By Summer Clark
 She has so much power 
but the world convinced her she did not 

Blame the world 

Her outfit is fine
It's the people who comment on it
 that makes it 
Wrong

Gross

Slutty

Blame the people 

She's not a trophy
She's a prize that can’t ever be won 
Because it's her choice 

Blame the stupid people who actually believe they have control over whoever they want 

 Her femininity doesn't make her less of a powerful woman
She's gorgeous
Society drowns her in their hatred
 as she falls deeply 
The words surround her 
 That's all she thinks about now 

  Blame society 

The images she sees on social media,
the insecurities that are so much bigger than you think 
Count your calories they say; no one likes a big girl 

Blame the media 

She's not comfortable in her own skin so she covers up 
They always have a problem to the point she can’t be happy 

Blame everyone and everything that has a problem with an amazing woman who can do and
wear whatever she wants 
It's not me it’s you
