Perfect As You Are


Girl in the mirror

Why do you frown?

Do you not see

Exactly what I see

Smart

Kind 

Beautiful

Self-doubt

Anxiety

Isolation

Is this your daily norm?

Who hurt you so? 

Why can't you see?

You're beautiful

Beautiful to me

I will spend

All my time

Every single last dime

Just to remind you

You are beautiful too.

Please listen

Try to see as I do

I only want you

Be yourself

Do not hide on the shelf

I know it's hard

Truly I do

But please 

Let me prove to you

You're beautiful as you are

More amazing than a shining star

You are perfect

Just the way you are
