Info

" We are all born so beautiful. The greatest tragedy is being convinced we are not."

Once upon a time

there were things I did not see

I was completely blinded to

the beauty in front of me...

See, every morning

I'd look at my reflection

I never saw the beauty there

I only saw the imperfection

The mirror told me things

and like a fool, what did I do?

I hung onto every lie it said

convinced that they were true...

But they weren't...

the mirror had lied

I wasn't ugly...

I had beauty INSIDE!

I only had to stop

and step away from the mirror

That was all it took

for my vision to get clearer

So i'll throw away the mirror

stand back and watch it shatter

'cuz I'm perfectly imperfect

and to me...

that's all that will EVER matter

so shout out to all the guys and gals that don't think they're good enough. you are perfect the way you are and you should never try to change that!!!!
