You Are Beautiful

by frizzle82

They say that you’re fat You are beautiful. They tell you you’re ugly You seem fine to me. They called you a queer You’re not really that weird They think you’re crazy Why should they understand? They laughed at your acne They got that, too. They told you you’re stupid What’s normal mean, anyway? They don’t like your glasses Does it even matter? Don’t listen to them You are beautiful.

hey thanks! This actually made me feel better. I'm a perfectionist and I have depression so right now I have a lot of low self esteem but you know what you are right. Everyone has acne :)
