Your Own Skin


Whether or not you are famous 

Whether or not you are you

Waking up in the morning, did it ever feel so cruel?

Did you ever have to look at them and want to be glamourous?

I feel like me

I don't feel like them

Being like me make me feel comfortable in my own skin

My real hair, not fake

my real skin, not tan

my real body, not skinny

everything about me makes me unique 

perfect..

in my own way

whether or not I am a model type or not

being around others makes me even more grateful

so i started to like my self a lot 

being you makes this world more thankful
