You are Beautiful
Location
You are beautiful.
Do you believe it?
Do you hear it enough?
Probably not.
Because since you were born,
Society’s told you,
“You’re below the bar.
You didn’t make par.
You’ll never be a star.
You’re worthless.”
Since you were born,
Society’s told you,
“You’re worth is on the outside.
Access has been denied.”
They don’t care that they’ve lied
because they think you’re worthless.
Since you were born,
Society’s told you,
“You’re ugly without this.
You’re fat without that.
You’re worthless.”
They make money off your insecurities.
They tell you you’re fat, they sell you diets.
They tell you you’re ugly, they sell you makeup.
Wake up!
You are beautiful.
You were made in the image of God.
That may sound cliche but I pray that you’ll stay
And listen to His words about your beauty.
You were molded, created, chosen to be you.
You weren’t made to be the girl down the street.
You weren’t made to be the people you meet.
You were made unique and complete.
Let me repeat,
You are beautiful.
If I could change one thing,
I'd show you yourself.
Not the number on the scale,
Not the person in this jail
That society has put you in.
If I could change one thing
I'd show you your beauty.
Not the one in the mirror,
I wish it was clearer
So that you could see your worth.
Since your birth,
You've been told that you're worthless.
I'm telling you that's not true.
If I could change one thing,
If only one thing,
I'd show you the true you.

Amen.
Speak the truth. It's nice to meet one of my Christian siblings who are out there changing the world by first changing the way people think about themselves. Like your attitude and poem. Keep writing on my friend.

This poem is amazing. I think it will boost up many girls spirits. Honestly, I still find myself ugly and fat. I know my self esteem is really low. Read my poems and tell me what you think. My secret has a pic of me on it. But I hope you like the poems :)

Beautiful poem that provides raw emotion. I read it to myself and as I had I got Goosebumps from the words you wrote. Keep it up.
This is an amazing poem on free will. I love the reference towards make up. I am pretty much sick of it.
