Sizes: A Rambling Poem

I am a size zero

Look in any plus-sized section at

Forever 21 or Macy's and you'll see

I am a size zero

I am also a size fifteen

Or sometimes a size thirteen

And I have one pair of size seventeen pants

Hanging at the back of my closet

And honestly my size depends 

On what form of voodoo magic

You're using as a reference

But what does it matter what size I am?

In a universe with a Creator

That breathes balls a fire

Ten times as big as the Empire State Building

 Why does it matter what number adorns

The inside of my pants or what society

Thinks of it

Because you see I've realized something

In my 18 years of life

Worth is not a size

And my worth does not come 

From that zero

Or seventeen

Or fifty-two

That the tag on my clothes says

But my worth comes from the one who

Made me, plain and true

And my Abba Father is perfection

The embodiment and definition

And if I regard myself as anything less

What does that say about Him?

And I have learned that

The worth of a masterpiece

A masterpiece like me

Is not dependent on the majority's perception

For how often was greatness scoffed at?

But the worth of a masterpiece

A masterpiece like me

Is found in the ability to

Say something important

Communicate love

Pursue truth

And I have learned 

That I do

Have something to say

To all of you

That your freckles are like constellations

Proof that you've enjoyed the sun

And your skin is tinted

With all the colors of the universe

Rolled into one

Your hair is perfect

Exactly the way it is

And no matter what

You are beautiful

You are worthy

And the truth is

It doesn't matter what sixe you are

Your size will definitely change

Your story, that's what matters

And it's beautiful

Trust me, it is
