You're not your weight,
Nor are you the size of your clothes,
You're not your age,
You're not your name,
Nor are you the color of your hair,

You're all the books you read,
And you're the words that you speak,

You're the sweetness in your laugh,
And you're every tear you cry,

You're your raspy morning voice,
And you're all the smiles that you try so hard to hide,

You're the songs that you sing so loudly,
When you know you're all alone,

You're the pictures in your bedroom,
And you're the future you dream of,

You're the things you believe in,
And the people that you love,

You're made of so much beauty,
But you seem to forget,
That you're beautiful in every way
