I Know
I know
I know I’m not the girl with the nicest and straightest hair
I know I’m not the girl with the smoothest skin or the clearest skin
I know I’m not the girl with the skinniest thighs or the smallest thighs
I know I’m not the girl with the lushest lips or the pinkest lips
I know I’m not the girl with the whitest teeth or the straightest teeth
I know I’m not the girl with the expensive clothes or the shiniest rings
I know I’m not the girl with the prettiest eyes or the biggest eyes
I know I’m not the girl with the best athletic skill or musical talent
I know I’m not the girl with the cutest laugh or softest laugh
I know I’m not the girl with all the boys or any boy
However
I know I’m the girl with bad skin, the disgusting skin who embraces it
I know I’m the girl with wavy hair, the gross hair, who embraces it
I know I’m the girl with a larger stomach, the wider thighs, who embraces it
I know I’m the girl with small lips, the thin lips who embraces it
I know I’m the girl with a loud laugh, an obnoxious laugh, who embraces it
I know I’m the girl who boys do not like, boys do not find pretty
But I do know if anyone looked from the inside, at my heart, my personality, my gestures, my gifts, my love,
I’d win it all
