Look at us
We live day by day
Believing that we're not smart enough
Not happy enough
Not pretty, or skinny enough
We care so much about what people think,
That we do things like curl our hair
And wear makeup, and dress a certain way
Only to impress people who don't care about us.
We've grown up believing that beauty
Only exists on the outside,
Because that's where people can see it;
But we're wrong
We're worth more than the scars and bruises
That cover our naked bodies;
Worth more than the feeling of throwing up
Last night's dinner and
Worth more than lipstick and our
Tear-stained pillowcases.
Beauty exists on the inside
Where your heart is.
Society's idea of beauty is only
Superficial, only materialistic.
Beauty isn't hair or clothing
Or makeup or bodies;
Beauty is your dreams.
Beauty is your feelings
And your thoughts
And your goals.
Beauty is what you aspire to be,
But you already are it;
Beautiful.
We are worth more than
The people who think
We are nothing.
*We are beautiful.
