You Are Beautiful

They say that you’re fat
You are beautiful.

They tell you you’re ugly
You seem fine to me.

They called you a queer
You’re not really that weird

They think you’re crazy
Why should they understand?

They laughed at your acne
They got that, too.

They told you you’re stupid
What’s normal mean, anyway?

They don’t like your glasses
Does it even matter?

Don’t listen to them
You are beautiful.

hey thanks! This actually made me feel better. I'm a perfectionist and I have depression so right now I have a lot of low self esteem but you know what you are right. Everyone has acne :)
