I always thought of myself as ugly
No matter how much I tried
Never considered myself worthy
Of anything I've achievedBut lately it's been different
I'm starting to love myself
More than I love anyone else
I can look in the mirrorLooked at my reflection and smiled
Glowing with joy and pride
Being less insecure about my looks
And discovering my personalityThe kind of radiance you only have at 17
Well I'm getting it at 18
So what if I'm a year late
I'm still glowingGetting some control over my life
By letting go of things that make me sad
And holding on to the memories
That once made my heart flutter
