Beautiful

I am Beautiful This I do not choose to believe But how can I be so naive? I think to myself “Everything about you is imperfect” But who can really say that they’re perfect? I hate my own reflection It makes me cry Just like raindrops from the sky I don’t like who I am But nobody said that it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard I stare at myself I don’t like what my eyes are able to see This can’t be me I am broken But it’s not my face that’s beaten It’s my heart that’s been eaten I am beautiful This I have come to believe But how could I have been so naive? I think to myself “Nothing about you is imperfect” Who can really say that they’re perfect? My reflection shines like a star It makes me smile I’ve never seen something such worthwhile I love who I am But nobody said that it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard I stare at myself I love what my eyes are able to see This can’t be me I am beautiful But it’s not my face that shows it It’s my heart that portrays it
