10 is the number of years it took for me to see the truth
The truth behind Disney princesses and frog kisses
The second star to the right was pushed to the back of the mind
I did not carry on till morning but to reality.

9 is the number of times per day I thought I was not pretty
That no one could love me because of the marks only I could see
I could not keep up with the Disney princesses
Because I never looked good in any dresses
And then I started to change

8 is the number of times I thought about starvation
To fit the supposed transfiguration I needed to be

7 is the number of presentations it took
For me to feel that I wasn’t ugly

6 is the number of seconds it took for me to forget
That I could get away from the thought of skinny

5 is the number of time I chanted each minute
That I could be more than anyone said

4 is how many months I worked to be me

3 is the number of words that it takes
To gain confidence

2 is the number of hours I could chant those words

1 does not need to be said
Because you are beautiful
Do not forget the wonder you hold
The greatness you can achieve

Do not bend to change to look like the Disney princesses
You will always able to get those frog kisses
If you be yourself
You are beautiful
