You know what?
I'm not ugly,
I'm beautiful!
From head to toe
God knows that
My confidence is key
And it's a part me
So, don't be discouraged
Because that's the way
Is going to be.

You know what?
I'm not stupid,
I'm diligent!
I may not know
Everything in this world
but, I've grown up
as a woman
than a foolish young girl.
I've become bold and wise
from the looks of your eyes.

You know what?
I love my friends
And I never wanted
to hurt them!
It doesn't matter how
Many friends I have
What matters is that
Their good and not bad.

You want to know
Something else?
I'm happy with my life!
It may not be perfect,
but it's worth it
You'll see.
Let the haters walk on by,
While you'll be strunting the aisles
Looking fly.

Its hard for them to admit
that their hate
is actually fear
of the light that you emit

Rising above all
And all i want to do is finish standing tall
As i finish climbing my mountain of fears
I look down at my peers who look jealous cuz i look like a menace
They start calling me names and a bunch of different jeers
But it's not true cuz I've
Breached my limits
Reached my potential
Seized my pinnacle
My biggest fear is my future and how it will appear
But it don't matter cuz im standing alone,
Without a tear
And i know that I've
Started from the bottom now im here!

I guess I'm a liar.
That I never walked through hell
For a devil with the face of an angel
I never took the blame for her sins
My pain didn't inspire my writings
It was all you.
Though we never spoke or met
I stole your pain, I guess
'Cause you're the only one
Who ever felt the backhand of love
Thank you for creating the feeling,
Of both drowning and falling
Of both burning and freezing
Only YOU know.
What it feels like to be wounded
And to bleed all over the world
I never had a relationship with
A megalomaniacal, evil *****
I guess I just stole it.
Memories of brutality without shame
How did we ever feel before you came?
Along and taught us this new word,
This uncharted concept for which
No one has previously heard.
Get over yourself.
It's just a word
And mine is better than yours.
Try to compare my honest, hard work to your UNRELATED swill again, and I won't go so easy on you next time. :)
