Dear Sweet 14

Your chest isn’t too small

your butt isn’t too flat

your glasses aren’t too thick

your feet aren’t too big

those insults are coming from others that don’t even know themselves

they want you to be who they are comfortable with

someone who minimizes their own self

who shrinks to become whatever is needed in that moment

in 5 years none of those people will matter

they go home measuring themselves according to you

they go home wishing they had your body

your feet

your eyes

your intelligence

while you go home figuring out how to shrink

how to become anyone that won’t need to be teased

if it’s not your size

its your friends skin color

your virginity

Your hair ends needing to be trimmed

its your clothes brand

your dirty tennis shoes

Dear sweet girl, you are not meant to be enough for anyone else

you sweet sweet girl..

you are more than enough for yourself

so just be you

learn to be comfortable in your skin

with your flaws

and love yourself through not knowing better

love yourself through others judgements

love yourself through it all
