I am Beautiful


Today as I walked down the hall

I noticed that everything was

different

I noticed that smiles

Were suddenly becoming vicious

let me define vicious

Deliberately cruel or violent

and I stood there in silence

As I felt

Medusas snakes staring into my eyes  

Petrified

Pe pe pe petrified

Cause I didn't know how to reply

To a language so foreign

from my understanding

As they laughed at my thick

Accent

As they laughed at my skinny legs

and arms

As the described me; The ugly skinny girl.

As they called me out, cause they knew I was wounded

As they picked on the weaker man.

As They laughed at my hopes and dreams

I stood there and said “Si llo te pudiera entender”

I would tell you that I am Beautiful

I am a masterpiece

Under construction

I am frog before being kissed by the princess

By the princess

That I am that

I Am the Princess

I am a jewel

I am a kings

Sparkly

wedding ring

And let me tell you again

I AM BEAUTIFUL

and this is how to stay beautiful

Be happy

Stand out in the crowd

Dont worry about what they say and stay proud!

Turn that frown upside down

Because nothing is better than being yourself

in a room full of copies and clones that don't know how to act alone.

So bullying shouldn't bring you down

So come one lets stand together and stomp out bullying.
