Generation Size-Zero

Today, the body positivity movement thrives,

Social media helps us question the skinny ideal that survives.

Though the belief persists, equating skinny with beauty and love,

At least now it's challenged, pushed back against, rising above.

Just a generation ago, the story was different, stark,

The size zero ideal was presented without a mark,

On our young minds, it left its trace,

Unchallenged, accepted, in every space.

We know it was wrong, we see the absurdity,

Yet years of media's abuse left its certainty,

Imprints on our thoughts, on how we act and feel,

A constant battle to remind us what's real.

The pieces in this collection stand tall and strong,

To remind us every day where we truly belong.

To kill the size-zero ideal that persists in our heads,

To break the chains, to rise from the threads.

So let these reminders serve their part,

To heal the wounds, to mend the heart.
