people could not stop
they could not stop
teasing you
mocking you
judging you
making you believe
you're worthless
and that you're ugly
people could not see
that they're making you
love yourself less
and worse
not at all
they think
you're invaluable
but really
it's not you
you're not the problem
it's them
and it's really heartbreaking
that you let them
think you're okay
or that you convince
yourself
that they're right.

you're beautiful
believe that you're worth it
what they say
shouldn't matter;
you do matter,
know that
and
remember that.
