Forest Fires

So being curvy makes you fat

Having wrinkles makes you old

Being thin makes you anorexic

And being quite makes you cold


Having scars makes you ugly

Having big boobs makes you hot

Being white makes you desirable

Being colored makes you not


Labels are like forest fires

Spreading from words

Into your life

Snaking along the gasoline of anger

Be careful

Once forest fires start, they're hard to stop
