He Said That I Am Perfect

Location

13 years young, I held my head low
Fell through some cracks, was found in a hole
Thought I defined uselessness and accepted my fate
Life wasn't made for me, I just couldn't be saved
Fell over so many times, I forgot how to get back up
Life wasn't worth it, I tried to give up
I saw my life change as the years flashed by
I opened up a book that gave sight to my eyes
A book full of wisdom,grace,and truth
It paved paths in the ground; a whole new person I grew
Life had meaning again, a God given miracle
Learning right from wrong to avoid being cynical
With acne prone face and space between my teeth
No one but him could describe every detail on me
The world can deny me and try to shove me out
But it doesn't matter because God said that I am beautiful within and throughout
So why does the world say that we have to be perfect
So that we sabotage our bodies? Is it all really worth it?
It's all in our head, we don't have to starve our souls
Our bodies are a temple, only we have full control
We drown ourselves in lies that feed us back our morbid tears
But we only want to feel beautiful, our insecurities defines our fears
