You want to change yourself. You say you don't like the way you look. You wish you could change. You want to be different. But I don't. I've watched you raise me. 14 years of watching myself grow as a person in your footsteps. And I think you're ******* perfect. I couldn't imagine someone better. You're amazing. An inspirational woman. That's for sure. When dad wasn't around, you always were. You've been through hell and back. I'm still not sure how you've done it. I love you more than words. I've watched you make me the person I've become. And yet still you don't seem to appreciate yourself. When I grew up with the definition of beauty was a three letter word. Mom. And yet you still manage to put yourself down. You don't even understand how much it hurts. So I'm sorry. That you can't truly see how magnificent you are.
