Comparison

As a kid I used to be made fun of,

"your forehead lalala"

And I took it personally,

I thought I was ugly.


Everything changed when I decided to look at the mirror one day

And told myself "I am beautiful"

I knew it felt uncomfortable at first,

I felt like I was lying to myself.


But over time, I started believing it.


But if you want to truly be beautiful,

Forget about "fitting in"

Forget about disguising yourself trynna be someone you're not.


A boy I had a thing with once said to me,

"Comparison is the killer of happiness"


He was right about one thing at least.
