Sometimes when you look in the mirror
You don't like what you see.
Constantly criticize yourself,
Why can't you let it be?

My stomach is too big,
My hips are too small.
My feet are huge.
I am way too tall.

People say that you are beautiful,
But you doubt it.
You don't see what they see.
Your self-esteem takes a hit.

You try to change yourself,
But you never feel pretty.
So depressed and down
You practically drown in self pity.

You have to understand
Beauty is not just a look,
But a feeling.
Once you fully believe that,
You are on the way to self healing.

Don't wait for anyone to make you feel beautiful.
You have to do that on your own.
Don't let others determine your self worth.
In this war you are all alone.

You have to show confidence,
Love who you are.
No one should try to change that,
But people still leave scars.

It is not going to be easy
Every day is trial.
At the end of it all,
It will be worthwhile.
