I am beautiful and everyone hates me,
but that gives me the power to face them
I love who I am
but that makes me a target
so many want to forget
but then so many wanted to wed
but my heart is locked
cold because of someone long ago
some say move on and let him go
but I must let all know
I had moved on
But the pain remains strong.
those old pains of yesterdays
got me so scared to ever love again,
But that doesn't stop me for being who I am
Beautiful and I know it
no matter what age I am.
