They used to call me ugly, with words that stung like a knife
But I held my head up high, and refused to let them define my life
I knew deep down inside, that beauty was more than just skin
And I held onto that truth, as their cruel words sank in
But time has a way of changing things, and now I stand here with pride
For I've had a transformation, a glow up that I cannot hide
They no longer recognize me, with my confidence and grace
And I can't help but smile, at the shock on each and every face
I used to hide behind a mask, afraid to show my true self
But now I shine like a diamond, with a beauty that's true and pure wealth
What they once saw as flaws, are now my unique and special traits
And I wear them like armor, for they make me who I am, no debates
I've learned to love myself, and see the beauty in my imperfections
For it's those very things, that have led to my resurrection
No longer do I seek validation, from those who once brought me down
For I've found my own worth, and that's all that matters, not their frown
So let them call me ugly, for I know the truth within
I am more than what they see, for my beauty comes from within
My glow up is not just physical, but a transformation of the soul
And I'll keep shining bright, no matter what words they may throw
They used to call me ugly, but now I proudly stand
For I am beautiful, in my own unique and wonderful grand
And I'll never let their words, bring me down again
For I am beautiful, just the way I am, and that's where my true beauty begins.
