I Am Beautiful
I look in the mirror, my reflection stares back
Head cocked to the side, arms folded in front of me
To society, beauty is what I lack
For so long ugly was all I could see
Thighs too big, skin never clear
Stomach sticking out, bust too small
I used to hide my face in fear,
And cower by the wall
Now I know society's flaws
They are wrong, I am beautiful
Who says they get to make the laws?
Their idea of pretty is dreadful
My body was crafted by Jesus
So I will love it without a fuss
