I’ll be what I am on the inside
On the outside,
To show people I am an inside outside person.
I won’t let their outside
Get to the better of me because they want to destroy
My inside and outside foundation.
They can say what they want to my outside,
I won’t let it affect my inside.
They can hide their inside
By transforming their outside
But inside can’t be erased.
I won’t hide myself,
Because I know I am beautiful
Inside and out.

It seemed rediculous at first but the more I worked with my idea, turning it over and over I felt like it was perfected.
