We've been through enough pain already
And pretty hurts so we'll rather be beautiful.
In fact we don't want to be called beautiful or pretty
Those words have been overused to the point where they no longer mean as much as they used to.

we'll rather be called breath taking, exquisite, majestic
yes anything but the cliché,
pretty,
cute,
hot,
cause we are not ordinary.

**** is a mindset and we don't have to be size 1 to feel good about ourselves
We don't have to starve ourselves by choice while people in Somalia are starving by chance
The least we can do is set an example and show them that we are grateful for who we are.

See the only thing we'll liposuct is that 100 pounds of low self esteem
We'll do sit ups to get rid of the lies they fed us
And we'll botox our hearts so that they can overflow with blood of contentment
so they can pump confidence to our bodies such that when we walk
we walk with the knowledge that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

We'll learn to appreciate our stretch marks for they are the proof and evidence that our bodies are content and choose to smile to prove it.
We'll wear our insecurities like uniforms to school,
We'll create awkward situations for ourselves
Make fools out of ourselves because we are weird,
We'll fall flat on our faces,
stand up and laugh at the ground like it has nothing on us.

We'll pickup our confidence, wear a smile and walk straight to that lesson we dread the most.
The one that teaches us to learn from the very past we are trying to leave behind.

Because in the past we weren't good enough,
In the past we had a low self esteem,
In the past we let the dictionary define us,
In the past we would have answered to their name calling,
But this time we are turning a deaf ear, we don't want to hear it
We know who we are,

We are flawless,
and the only reason there is no prince charming coming our way,
Is because we are queens,
And  our king is out there and we know it.
