No one sees the ugly scars
sadly that is no one but you
I see the loveliness you are
and soon I hope you will too

All they taught you was a lie
but now it’s up to you alone
you’d be it if you believed it
and claimed it as your own  

Being beautiful is a choice
not some gift for us to give
don’t let lies hold you back
you’re alive it’s time to live

Like the time you talked to me,
Made a friend when I had none.
Made me smile.

Like the time you said hello,
Complemented when I was down.
Made me laugh.

Like the time you asked how I was,
Cared when I was alone.
Made me cry.

Like the time you gave me time,
Listened well when I told all.
Made me trust.

Like the time you held my heart,
Gave comfort when I had none.
Made me hope.

Like the time you cracked a joke,
Laughing hard when I felt gone.
Made me live.

Like the time you ran with me,
Running fast when I cried stop.
Made me go.

Like the time you looked at me,
Mistakes made when I needed help.
Made me heal.

Like the time you asked me,
Invited when I felt lost.
Made me found.

Because you were there,
Because you were willing,
Because you cared,
Because you left a footprint,
*Because I am changed.
