The way you see me vs The way i see myself

Just because someone tells you you're beautiful,
Doesn't mean you have to believe it

When there are men and boys all around the world telling girls with curves that they are beautiful,
And you are told you're the kind of skinny no one wants to be, how can you feel pretty?

I feel good sometimes but the people i'm with the most and would give anything for don't make me feel beautiful and it's not always their fault

And just because you say no offence doesnt mean it wasn't taken

Just because I look happy it doesnt mean I always am

I want to be happy all the time,
But i cant

I want to feel pretty, beautiful, and attractive
Because I can

But the definitions have changed in most peoples eyes and it doest fit who I am

I was listening to music on pandora and the first verse just popped into my head, so i grabbed a pen and pencil and wrote it down.
