My Body Is NOT The Extent of My Worth

My body is NOT the extent of my worth

Let Me Repeat

My Body is NOT the extent of my worth

I am NOT what you see

Can’t you see

I am a human being

Made with purpose

Born to be set free

And yet

It is you that I crave

For the beautiful parts of you

I adored

I raved

I am in pain

What am I to do?

When I’ve given my all to you

To prove

My body is NOT the extent of my worth

Rinse. Wash. Repeat.

Rinse. Wash. Repeat.

My body is NOT the extent of my worth

I repeat

My Body is NOT the extent of my worth

I am NOT what you see

Can’t you see

I am a human being

Made with purpose

Born to be set free

And yet

It is you that I crave

For the beautiful parts of you

I adored

I raved

I am in pain

What am I to do?

When I’ve given my all to you

To prove

My body is NOT the extent of my worth

Rinse. Wash. Repeat.

Rinse. Wash. Repeat.

Oh! I am tired of playing this circular game

With the fools who won’t take the time to recognize my pain

For what they see in me

Is a physical attraction

For what they feel with me is an intimate reaction

Little do they realize

That’s only a fraction

Of whom I am on the inside

My body is NOT the extent of my worth

I repeat

My body is NOT the extent of my worth

When it is all the you see

I see

Can’t you see

I am in pain

I don’t need a band-aid

My place lies only with a cure
