Don't Listen to Them
Location
Before, I had flaws
in likableness,
in appearances,
in education,
in too many things.
I was told I was quiet,
I was told I was ugly,
I was told I was stupid,
I was told to change.
I tried to converse
I tried to contour
I tried to study
I tried to change.
I wanted conversation
I wanted long eyelashes
I wanted a 4.0
I wanted change.
I felt uncomfortable with discourse
I felt uncomfortable with lip stick
I felt uncomfortable with studies
I felt uncomfortable with change.
After, I realized
It was all a lie.
though I had one flaw:
I had believed them.
I am truly an introvert
I am truly beautiful
I am truly intelligent
I am truly flawless.
