I know this it is hard to be yourself

it always was

it always will be

I know this people say “just be you”

but judge those who aren't the same

those who don’t fit the worlds cookie cutter image

I know this everyone has unique quirks and qualities

I think we’re all made differently for a reason, every dimple, scar, curl, stretch mark,

blemish, curve is beautiful

I think every belief we have was blessed on us for a reason what you preach, what you

teach, who you love, who you hate, what the world needs, what the world doesn't

have room for, what we are given is important

(It's our loss)

We need to listen to what we say

We need to hear other peoples truths

We need to respect the many differences of every single human on the planet

I know every dream is valid

I know every heart needs blood to pump

I know everyone's choices is what makes them who they are, not their color, gender, belief

or whatever it's how they choose to treat others

We need to love each other and ourselves

We need acceptance.. We deserve acceptance

We owe it to the human race to recreate the status quo

And find a way to spread peace

Paint me extraordinary

Paint me peculiar

Paint me Bella

I am myself
