I Am Beautiful

I am beautiful because of this:

My parents taught me strength,

and to love at great length.

My grandma taught me to be selfless;

generosity is a form of kindness.

My Auntie and Papa taught me to love nature,

and how to be a good baker. 

I wear my heart on my sleeve,

and try not to preconceive.

Everyone has a story,

so don't hate them because of their glory.

Plastic and fake, that isn't me.

True beauty comes within thee. 

I'll live the life I have imagined,

because I know what I want to happen.

I want to help people like others have helped me,

I'll be a nurse and start my own family. 

I am emotional, natural, and truthful,

and that is what makes me beautiful.
