Don't talk to me.

Why am I so easy to manipulate?

I let down my defenses and

This, is what I get in return:

A broken heart

A confuddled mind

An aching soul

In a body that is not mine.

I used to be stronger than that--

Actually, I was just really good at masking my feelings

With a tough facade--

But I let you in

And I let you see

Beneath the armor--

The tender flesh beneath.

Do you hit me up now

Because you're lonely?

Am I truly

Your one and only?

You say the right things

And you make me smile

But something is missing

You won't go that extra mile

The things I do for you,

Are all genuine

Maybe that's my problem

I give too much of mine

I feel like a fish

Taking your bait

Maybe I am the bait

Useless except when wanting to entice bigger fish

The sad thing is that

Despite all I've just said

Yo bum ahhh is probably

The fact that some of you aren’t even spelling JUDGE correctly, REALLY shows the rest of us where your priorities are. You should probably learn how to spell it before you do your makeup or w/e else you may do to fit the status quo. I mean, some of you are posting “ugly before” vids of yourselves the way u naturally are. How is tht ugly? And Im talking about MALES AND FEMALES.

These kinds of foolish trends are what cause some ppl to actually believe they’re ugly or inadequate. Some ppl have moderate to severe acne, lots of hair (in places we call “inappropriate” or “unattractive”), glasses, messed up teeth, “too little” curves, “too many” curves, “too little” muscles, and a bunch of other “toos”– and they can’t help it. And even when they can, what should they do in the meantime? Call themselves ugly and try to measure up, because they don’t fit everyone’s superficial standards? BUMP THAT.

Im not gonna be a hypocrite and say, “looks dont matter,” because they really do, if we’re being honest with ourselves. But some ppl r making this into a challenge about only looks, when if you’re being honest with YOURSELF, that’s pretty narcissistic. If you wanna make it about looks and self-appreciation, why dont you take off tht make up, stop trying to look “hot,” and actually show off something else besides ur made-up face, pecs, or private parts.

You know, if the hashtag was something less hypocritical, maybe I wouldn’t care as much, but someone HAD TO CALL IT THE “DON’T JUDGE ME/ DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER CHALLENGE.” Do you realize how ignorant that sounds, considering you all are only showing off your nice physical attributes? There’s nothing wrong with saying you look good, but I think some of you don’t truly understand what “don’t judge a book by its cover” actually means. It doesnt mean, “Oh ya better be nice to tht ‘ugly’ person, because they might turn out to be really attractive!” NO. It means that instead of drawing conclusions about someone based off of their looks alone (or what parts to their personality they show you, because it’s not always looks on the surface), you should look at the inside. Open up the book. Actually see what’s inside of it. READ IT.

I know some of you didn’t think of it that way, but that’s my take on this. Im not even a super sensitive person (more like empathetic), but when I see something that I feel should be spoken on, I will do it. If you’re mad, stay mad, because obviously I’ve struck a nerve and you should use tht energy to think about what I’ve said.

I hope most of you get what Im trying to convey.
