Her pale skin

Her curly hair

Her fat uncontainable body at which everyone seems to stare

Her squirrel like cheeks

The way her breath smells when she speaks

The hair on her legs

And her untamable personality that absolutely no one needs.

That's what they would say about me

My personal style was controlled by those who wanted nothing about what I wanted to own

The pink took over my closet my floors and my room

The makeup stains of yesterday covered my bedsheets in doom

And I felt the gloom permeate into my heart and it left a scar an ugly wound a big old mark

And I learned to fear the mirror and

I got used to the feeling of a different skin

A different style

And I learned to try to fit in

But fitting in was no longer enough

It changed everyday the trends seemed to fade and were replaced with new ones for only a day.

And I learned to take the teasing the hurting and the words

I learned to take the new way how my skin felt on my bones

And I tried what I could and I tried to be thin

But I could never win

Because my genetics never changed and my hair never straightened

And I learned to hate the way of how my heart felt in my chest

And I learned that I was valued on the size of my breasts

And I gave up and It hurt and I tried to let them win

I let myself be tossed into that painful lions den

But I don't wanna live like that.

So I tossed out all my makeup and wore the clothes I want

I won't let myself be valued on what the others thought

I let my hair be wild and my squirrel fat cheeks stay

And I threw my stupid attitude and everyone else's out the way

I wore vintage and stained tee shirts

I wore hoodies and suit coats

And I forgot about the words that all the others wrote

Because everyone is beautiful it comes from within

But there are all was gonna be those who wanna push us in the lion's den

But we are stronger than diamonds we can learn this everyday

When we push the poison words of others out of the way

Because what they say isn't important you will soon come to find

Because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
