Not Going To Lie.

Just some feelings I feel towards bullying.

You told me I was stupid.

Ugly.

Lonely.

Hated.

And I was, because I believed it myself.

I believed that I was ugly.

Lonely.

Hated.

I believed it all.

Until one day.

I looked in the mirror and saw someone that was better than you.

I saw someone who was beautiful.

Someone creative.

Smart.

Loved.

Someone worth something.

All things that you weren't.

I can't hate you for feeling sorry for yourself and trying to make someone crash and burn for your benefit.

I'm not going to lie, your beautiful.

But you don't know it.

And that's what makes you ugly.

You go around hating yourself for not being someone else but guess what.

Your you, and that's the best that you'll ever do.

So love yourself.

It's the only way anyone can ever love you.

*Claps* So true. I love the message. Its a very straightforward piece that rings true for everyone, whether they're the one who feels run down or the one doing the running down. It flowed well and struck home so good job!
