Society is a horrible place, though seemed to be laced with grace.
Too fat, too wide but please don’t be mystified.
For we have unruly expectations that everyone abides.
We’ll shame you in every way until you cry.
We can even make you even wonder why.
Wonder why you’re here today, should you be the size that you weigh?
Society forgets we are humans with feelings.
Left with thoughts we often end up concealing.
Sometimes it only takes a minute or two.
To make someone feel like something brand new.
A gift, a compliment or some words of love.
Taking someone far above.
Far above the expectations set and for them to just forget.
Just know a little can go a long way.
You never know when you can make someone’s day.
It may only be a little thing, but just remember kindness makes it everything.
