Don't Give It Up


Fat. Ugly. Stupid. Worthless. That’s what we call ourselves, right? Pathetic. Ignorant. Nothing. Why do we do this? We break and break, then we continue the madness. We have others hurt us, then we look ourselves in the mirror and hurt ourselves more. You know what, though? You’re not what they say, you’re not what they make you feel. You’re beautifully you, and that’s so amazing. You’re smart and wonderful. You’re worth something and I know you’re everything to someone. It hurts so much, feeling what we do, but I’ve seen what would happen. You have a chance everyday, a chance to do ANYTHING. Don’t give that up.
