More Than A Number

Greater Than A Size

Let me be as I was made

for numbers don’t define me

Not height or age or width of waist

I am more than what you see

We go through our lives altered

Trying to find our possibilities

We deal with our own falters

a twisted autobiography

Please see beneath this mask I wear

Please see me as I am

Appearance should not be something feared

On this we all should take a stand

The sticks and stones you gather

Will one day break more than bones

Throwing up idle chatter

Wounding from head to toe

Find the beauty of a soul

Find a way to heal a heart

Standing for another, bold

Is a perfect place to start

Telling stories my heart needs to tell <3 life is a journey, not a competition
