Do you see the Beauty?

by lakotapronych

Things aren't like they used to be any more. Granted I'm a lot happier where I am now, but it’s like my feelings have bi polar disorder. It’s almost exactly like I'm riding a roller coaster every day. II still have bad days, but so does everyone else. What makes me so special? I just wanted you to realize that if my feelings had meant a little more to you maybe it wouldn't feel like you were playing around with my feelings. Almost like it was some kind of game for you. You always had to be the one to win, it always seemed like you had to knock me down to make yourself feel better. I was tired of getting this kind of treatment from my family. Instead of sticking around to watch myself fall, I decided to stand, Stand up for myself. I was no longer a victim of yours. I made a choice for myself, and even though you didn't seem to agree with me, I didn't care. I wasn't going to have you control MY life. I was tired of trying to make you see that I was much more than what you could only see on the outside. I wasn't some fat girl you could make fun of, and even though I had a little bit more body mass than you, I could still find beauty in myself, despite what you told me. This was all a joke. And you say I'm the bad guy. Why don’t you open your eyes? Maybe if you had stopped to smell the roses you may have seen the beauty in life; the beauty that already exists. There is beauty in everything, and everybody. Just not everyone can see it. And that’s sad, because everybody deserves to be noticed.
