They told me I could be anything, they told me I was beautiful, they told me we were friends.
They told others I was worthless, they told them I was hideous, and still I thought they were friends
They tore my dreams to pieces, they shattered my self image, they were never my friends.

I found my dreams through books, feel elegance through words, and found true friends in writers.

Don't settle for their ugly words when you can find the beauty in others.
