I’m going to talk to you about beauty,

Not supermodel beauty,

Not standard expectations of beauty,

True beauty.

True beauty is something that we all have,

Society tell us that we need to have this body,

To dress this way,

And to wear this makeup,

But that isn’t real.

We are all beautiful in our own way.

You are beautiful,

You are different,

Stop picking at your flaws,

Stop telling yourself you aren’t good enough,

Because what you see isn’t what I see.

When I look at you I see a beautiful girl,

One with overwhelming passion for what she loves,

A girl that is determined,

Someone who is herself and not striving to be someone she isn’t,

Just to “fit in”.

You are so beautiful.

Every freckle,

Every hair,

I love it all.

Stop nagging about your body,

It’s just how it was meant to be,

You’re perfect just the way you are,

In your own extraordinary way.

Stop letting those magazines lie to you,

Don’t let them deceive you anymore,

Because you are beautiful just the way you are.

God made you the way he wants you,

It wouldn’t be right if you were any different,

You were made this way for a reason!

So please,

Stop telling yourself you aren’t good enough,

Instead switch it around,

Tell yourself you are beautiful,

That every little pimple is temporary,

That it doesn’t take away from your beauty,

That you love your body,

Because everybody else loves you the way you are,

I know it’s hard,

 And it will take time to get used to,

But you need confidence,

Because that is the most beautiful thing,

And you need more of it.

I love you the way you are,

Because you,

Are beautiful.
