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.
