Why can't I believe you, you ask?
Why can't I take compliments?
Well let me explain you, why I can't believe your words.
Because you see,
I just wanted to be pretty.
I wanted people to look at me the way they look at those pretty girls.
I wanted to be the one who attract people's eyes.
Because you don't know what it's like,
You don't know how hard it is.
To be looked,
To be judged,
To be rejected,
The way I was.
You don't know how it feels,
To be invisible,
To be neglected.
To hear everyone saying how important personality is, while they only look at your body disgustingly.
Do you want to know, how all those words felt like?
When they said to me I was ugly,
That no one would ever love me.
That I was too much and not enough at the same time.
Nothing of me ever felt right to them.
Because my body wasn't pretty.
Because I was not like them.
So why would someone love an ugly and fat girl?
How could someone love her anyway?
How could she attract anyone, with this body of hers?
...
Do you understand now?
I've heard these words all my life, ever since I was a child.
Too fat. Not skinny enough.
Too ugly. Not pretty enough.
Too tall. Not "normal" enough.
I was not like them.
So I was not normal.
I was too much and not enough.
Never the right amount.
Sometimes, I just wondered why couldn't they loved me?
Why wasn't I good enough for them?
Why didn't they just accept me the way I was born?
Did I do something wrong?
Wasn't I nice enough? Or maybe I was too boring.
Why didn't they want me?
Just because of my body, I was rejected and neglected all my life,
So how could I accept these nice words now?
How could I believe them?
Are they even true?
Do you believe what you're saying?

Do you see now, the importance of words?
How they can enlighten someone's day, just like they can destroy someone's life.
Yet people still use them like they are pointless,
Meaningless.
If only they knew.
