Who told you that you’re ugly?
face too pudgy
Ears so big
Why does the internet get to decide
The beauty you carry inside?
My body is fat
You’re too skinny
Who set the standard of beauty?
Depressed and rough
Society says I’m not good enough
Thoughts of suicide
My body should hide
Don’t believe this trash
You’re beautiful
Social media superficial
Look in the mirror
The depth of your soul
Never let anyone say you look like a troll
We’re all unique
We don’t look the same
Stop playing this world’s cruel game
See yourself with adoration
There’s only ONE of you in this generation!
Beauty pours out like a river
Did you ever consider
You are beautiful just the way you are?
Society will always raise the bar
Impossible standards
Delusions of grandeur
You will never win
You’re already gorgeous within
Let your light shine bright
Accept that you’re beautiful
And stop this impossible fight
Who told you that you’re ugly?

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.
