I look into the mirror and I'm disgusted by what I see, an ugly imperfect me
Bad hair, big nose, and ugly figure how could I ever love such a picture?
I prayed to God, Lord why did you make me this way? To make other girl pretty but keep my beauty at bay
I want to be confident, courageous and love myself, but while other girls are out living my dream I'm left here on a shelf
Captivated by my thoughts that keep me bonded I was taken aback when God finally responded
Child, you are worth so much more than what lies on the surface, for me you serve a bigger purpose
You are called to serve me and to be apart of a community in hopes of bringing the world a step closer to unity
You are kind, loving and self motivated, but what you don't see in those other girls is their personalities are rather deflated
They do not have me in their sprits so just to base them on their looks dear daughter I don't want to hear it
For the gift I've placed in you is so pure that men will have to look past the surface to see that, I'm sure
But child looks aren't everything I can promise you that. For a mature man will love you for the beauty within and if not dear daughter prepare for internal combat
You don't have to take half naked pictures or open your legs for validation because then you are truly striving for desperation
Desperation for validation from people who don't even matter and when I see you like this my heart truly shatters
There may be pain in the night but my child joy always comes in the morning so who cares if you spectators think you are a prude or boring
But what about me? The Lord of all, does my opinion not matter to you at all?
I've ranked you the most high, daughter of a king, you are more important to me than just some thing
You are valued you are loved and most importantly you are loved from both above
Dear daughter I tell you to always think highly of you because you know that I do and one day I know you will too
I went back into the bathroom and looked at myself once more and saw something I didn't seen before
I don't have it all and no I'm not perfect but I believe what God said for I am worth it
I am worth being valued, I am worth being loved because I know I am deeply loved from my Father's above
I look into the mirror and now I love what I see, what a beautiful and imperfect me!
