Your Body is not a "Battlefield"
Your Body is not a "Battlefield"


I weigh,
I measure,
I starve to meet the unrealistic beauty standards of our society
For my body is not my own property
Every time I see through mirror
It reflects back with questions full of disclaimer
Too fat,
Too skinny,
Too dark,
Too curvy,
Too tall,
Too short
The media constantly remind us to second guess our default
My body is more of a battle ground
Fighting for right measures in the field unbound
Thighs without gap face full of spot tooth with braces
Not a fit for fashion model's sizes
Complexion white as milk hair falling of a shoulder as silk
Tall with the thinner thigh
You are all ready to glam up and fly
Who decides the standards of beauty,
Bring us down to shame and make us feel guilty?
Enough we fought
Enough we cried
Enough we cared for others
Now break hinges of this imprisonment
And groom up with the beauty that you "Dreamt"
Your body is no more a "Battle-field
"It's a "Temple" of aesthetics that you yield .
Your body is no more a "Boarding-House" for strangers
It's a "Home" for your own coming ventures
Your bodies are not meant to make others comfortable
They are to make your spirit unbreakable
Beauty comes from within your inherited souls and smiles
Not from white skin and soft flesh on your thighs
Weigh to get healthier
Measure to get fitter not thinner
Wear heals to stand out with confidence
And glow up only to cheers
Flat or Fat Bones or Curves none of your concerns
Tall or short get away you bloody escort
Dark, Whitish, black, fair why you even care?
"Bodies aren't ugly
Bullying is
"Blame society or beholder (of beauty) is the biggest quiz
So, caress your skin for you are Gorgeous
Step out fearlessly don't be cautious
Bring comfort in your wrinkle, your face will gloom up with sparkle
Don't weigh
Don't measure
Don't starve for you are not a sculpture to carve
