Beautiful

By Tara BranchePublished 4 years ago 1 min read

You are beautiful

No matter what they say

Why does their opinion matter anyway?

Who are they to call you other than who you are?

What right do they have to hate on you from afar?

You are beautiful

No matter what they say

Why does their opinion matter anyway?

It doesn’t matter if you weigh 90 or 500 pounds

What does matter is what you tell yourself when nobody is around

You’re unique; you’re fearfully and wonderfully made

That’s what God said;

Let go of the hurts, hang-ups, and habits

Society tries to put in our heads

You are beautiful

No matter what they say

Why does their opinion matter anyway?

They try to tell us what beauty is

Why do you think they run a billion dollar a year biz?

Because they profit off of the insecurity of you and me

Whether you’re 20, 30, 50, or 80

Grow older with sophistication and grace

Your beauty is not defined

By your figure OR your face

You are beautiful

No matter what they say

Why does their opinion matter anyway?

True beauty shines from the inside out

Some show how ugly they are

As soon as they open their mouth

Thinking they’re pretty

When they really are ugly inside and it shows

Every time they act like Mean Girls

Or turn up their nose

Pay them no mind!

A quiet and gentle spirit within

And acceptance of your body without

Is a rare jewel worth seeking to find

So Smile Beautiful!

No matter what they say!

Their opinion never did, never will, doesn’t matter anyway!
