Just Be You Tiful
Leaning in closer to the mirror
Noticing every flaw you might possess
Every indentation of an imperfection
Etched into your soft red cheeks
Examining the scars and bruises
that cover your arms and legs
From when you used to punish yourself repeatedly
Telling yourself you're too fat to take
but I must tell you something, darling
I feel the beauty radiating from you as we speak
Don't you dare say you're too damn ugly
because nobody's perfect. imperfections make you, you
Please stop hurting ill do everything it takes
You don't deserve those ugly words
The teardrops on your pillow
The scratches on your skin
Please don't hurt yourself
Just be you tiful
Your brain whirling for insults
To shoot at that reflection
Noticing everything wrong
The red bumps on your face
The extra weight you hold
Hair isn't acting as its told
Try to close your eyes now, darling
Don't think that way
Nobody's perfect I must say
Just be you tiful
It doesn't matter what people say
I want you to feel happy inside
No more tears, no more cries
No more hurting, bruises, scars on your skin
I think you're amazing
Outside as well as within
So continue being be you tiful
