Tell Me That I’m Beautiful

Poem

By Diamond OdisterPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I’m bruised and heartbroken

Tell me that I’m beautiful

Never the first one whose chosen

Tell me that I’m beautiful

I have high anxiety

Tell me that I’m beautiful

Can’t fit with society

Tell me that I’m beautiful

I put makeup on my brush

To erase all the impurities

Tell me that I’m beautiful

I don’t rush in the rain

So you can tell me that I’m beautiful

I mumble when I sang

Tell me that I’m beautiful

I want love but it’s not a “thing”

Tell me that I’m beautiful

Shattered glass is on the floor

It can’t tell me that I’m beautiful

My head’s my only voice

It tells me I’m not beautiful

Don’t fight tears, let it pour

Cause it tells me I’m not beautiful

I can’t love me anymore

There’s nothing left that’s beautiful

Abused and physically raped

Nobody thinks I’m beautiful

I’m scarred within my brain

Beautiful would leave eventually

I drink away my pain

Cause I can’t love me physically

But just for another day

Tell me that I’m beautiful
