Don't worry so much about being perfect Don't push yourself to get the highest marks you can get
You certainly don't have to do it all You deserve a break, even if it's small
You're beautiful I know you may not think that but it certainly is true Inside and out Beautiful, that's you
Ignore the imperfections you see in the mirror For only you are able to see The "too big stomach" and "jiggly thighs" You're gorgeous as can be
I know you're scared to graduate You became comfortable in high school, But the world is so much bigger, Adventure awaits you
Please don't think that you're ugly Boys will come and go Focus on liking yourself Though that's hard, I know
The summer did flash by for you University hit you hard Please don't be mad at yourself For all your "unsightly lard"
You became ill and that's okay None of this was your choice It's not your fault you spiraled down From listening to that voice
The hardest months of your life thus far You sadly had to endure Because you couldn't forgive yourself Mental illness is a blur
Shame and stigma rotted your mind Made you think this was your volition Like someone gets cancer, you became sick Becoming mentally ill wasn't a mission
Your life will slowly rebuild The future will have ups and downs, You should be incredibly proud of what you survived Continue to fight those sounds
