I am worthless.

I am worthless.

I have acne.

     Isn't that natural?

I am worthless.

I am overweight.

     In whose definition?

I am worthless.

I am too short.

     By whose standards?

I am worthless.

I am ugly.

     Do you really think that?

I am worthless.

I have big feet.

     Who will notice?

I am worthless.

I am not beautiful.

      Why don't you believe you're beautiful?

Because I've been told I'm not.

      Why do you believe them?

It's what society thinks of me.

      Why does their opinion matter, and yours doesn't?

It does, but....

      But what?

They are society.

      But you are you.

      You are not worthless, you are ***FLAWLESS.
