They called me ugly
So I put on makeup
In the hopes that one day
I might be beautiful
They said I was fat
So I stopped eating
In the hopes that my waist would shrink
and their hearts would grow
They told me i was weird
So i tried to change myself
Distancing me from the girl
I have known my whole life
They told me i didn't deserve life
So I began to hurt myself
In the hopes that somebody would see
that i'm in pain
And that i would become worthy
I took their scorn
and i tried my best
To become the person
They said I'd never be
But yet in the end
I failed tragically
hating the fact that I'm
who I am
They told me i should die
So one day i finally decided
I'd try to grant their last wish
to finally get something right
But now i see
That I am worth something
That their words
Are nothing on me
From now on I'll only be
What I was meant to be
And I won't change
For anybody anymore
They will not control my life
I will not let them dictate
My thoughts or my actions
because I will not stoop down again
I will not let them get that satisfaction
I will not let them degrade me
I will not let them morphe the
Beautiful person that is me.
From now on
I am myself
and I am perfectly content
with who I am
and who I will become.
