Thanks To You

I need to learn to love myself. Until I do I can't truly love anybody else. I feel happiness when among friends, And they will always be with me till the end. But when I looked in the mirror I felt ashamed. Till this one blonde haired boy came. When around him I felt approval. I felt happy with myself, but only until his removal. Again I felt ashamed, And deep in my heart I felt pain. Down my face ran so many tears, Then my brain said "You got to learn to love yourself my dear." Sure that boy made me feel pain, But I thank him for something he made me gain. He made me feel good about myself, And I gained the self confidence that I should have about myself. I'm starting to love my hips and curves, And if you call me fat boy you got some nerve. I love the hue of my lips and eyes I love my red hair even though it dyed. I'm learning to love my body, And I ain't takin s*** from nobody. I love that blonde hair boy who I now call my friend. Knowing he will always be my friend till the end.
