You are art
You are the most beautiful specimen on this planet
No matter how pretty the other girls are
No matter how mean the little boys are
You need to remember that you are perfection
You are the sunlight reflecting off of the still blue sea
You are the lil doggo coming to light up people's livesNobody
And I mean absolutely nobody
Can tell you that you are not good enough
They cannot tell you that you are not pretty enough
They cannot tell you that you can't do thingsYou are the spark that starts the flame
You are the lyrics to the song
You are the light at the end of the tunnel
You are perfectionYou are so perfect and all those pretty girls and mean boys don't even know
They don't know how fun you are to hang out with
They don't know that you make the funniest jokes
They don't know just how beautiful you truly areAnd that doesn't even matter
I know what your thinking but it doesn't matter
because you are perfection
and you don't need them
You have me
You have so many other people
and we all love you
To us, you are perfectYou are flawless
No matter how many flaws you point out
You are still going to be flawlessIt's your flaws that make you, you
And those flaws
Oh no honey
They are not flaws
They are not imperfections
They are you
They make you flawless
They make you perfectYou are yourself
You are perfect as you are
You should never have to change for anyone
Because darlingYou are art
