I'm sorry I'm not pretty enough,

But I think I'm beautiful.

 

I'm sorry I'm not smart enough,

But I think I'm a genius.

 

I'm sorry I'm not skinny enough,

But pounds don't matter to me.

 

I'm sorry I have a goofy smile,

But I can't hide my happiness.

 

I'm sorry I'm not rich,

But I'm worth a million bucks.

 

I'm sorry my skin isn't light enough,

But why blend in when you can stand out.

 

I'm sorry I think outside the box,

But there's never been a box for me.

 

I'm sorry I don't follow the rules,

But where's the fun in that.

 

I'm sorry I make it so impossible for you to love me,

But I love myself and that's enough.

Everyone feels like they have to apologize for who they are but they don't. Everyone deserves love, no matter what.
