I Am Me and Will Always Be Me

You judge me because you don’t like my hair You judge me because of my birthmark You judge me because I am fat You judge me because I look different You judge me because I don’t have “swag” You judge me because I am not the richest You judge me because I don’t have the nicest things. You want me to change my hair? You want me to get rid of my birthmark? You want me to lose weight? You want me to look normal? You want me to have swag? You want me to be came the richest? You want me to have the nicest things? Well guess what I love my hair! I love my birthmark! I love that I am not skinny! I love that I don’t have swag! I love that I am not the richest! I love that I don’t have the nicest things! And I am not changing for no one !

i think the happiest people are those who like themselves just the way they are. So are the truest friends - they don't try to change you.
