Beautiful
Do not let them do that
Tell you who you are
To say you are not beautiful
Say you are this
To tell you, you are that
Be yourself
Because in the end
That is all that will matter
No one else feels you
Understands your mind
Can tell you how to think
Can say how you feel
They do not get you
Nor walk in your shoes
They can say they understand
But do they
Have they lived your life
Seen your horrors
Felt your fear
Seen your pain
Have they suffered
Like you have
They can not tell you who to be
Can not say how to feel
How to act
They can not control you
Do not let them say
That you are not beautiful
