Believe In Yourself


Believe In Yourself

 

I may not have it all or a coke bottle body

But theres a lot more to me

I have a huge personality.......I think

I may not be the most beautiful girl in the world

Or beautiful at all <Believe In Yourself>

I may have been called ugly, fat and yes words hurt.

It's like being stabbed in the back with a knife

As if someone dropped my heart and stood on it.

Even if you're "just playing" ...it hurts.

Yes, I've been called pretty, it boost my self esteem up

But not all the way, I stay quiet, because I'm

Afraid what someone would say.

I am hurt behind my smile. No one knows

But behind that smile I'm dying with pain.

Why is the world so cruel?

 

Look at me! Look at me!

Light-skinned and flee

To be like me

Should be everybody’s dream

Smart and talented

Handsome and extravagant

I know God has blessed me

And my life wasn’t an accident

<Believe in yourself>

People envy me

And always try to copy me

But in reality,

Nobody could ever be nor compare to me

 

Self-confidence is a most important lesson.

<Believe in yourself>, but don't have too much pride-

You don’t want people to get the wrong impression.

Be kind, be caring, be you

Because you, yourself, as much as anyone in the world, deserve your love and affection.
