Stolen Heart

You Are Loved

Maybe people call you

Ugly. Trash. Doormat.

Weird. Crazy. Fat.

Maybe that's what you call yourself

Freak. Gross. Elf.

Giant. Stupid. Ho.

But I want you to know

That I think you're beautiful

Everyone has their own style

And maybe it's been awhile

Since someone called you cool

But no one's perfect

Even if they act like it

Confidence in the key

To unlock the prison of worry

Don't be afraid to shine

Because it doesn't matter what's on the outside

Even when your life seems unstable,

Remember that you are LOVED and you are ABLE.
