I am me


you can say that i am ugly

my face is covered in scars

my back has the vision of pain
 
i was never loved the right way
i felt alone sometimes
i hate opening up
 
love doesn't come easy
they tease me for being different
i don't allow myself to be strong
 
mom never told me I'm pretty
dad never gave me emotional support
a servant to everyone else' feelings
 
enough is enough
i can't take it anymore
I'm taking control of my life
 
i don't need your love
your support, your opinion
i love myself and that's all that matters
 
no matter what
if you can't love yourself
how can you love anyone else
-Ru Paul I thank you
 
i am flawless
for my flaws are me
i am me
