If I was beautiful you would love me

If I was beautiful you would love me

A Poem by butterfly

If i was beautiful you would love me
fat shaming would never be a need
sweet words of misery wouldnt be
it would be a different life
a sweeter destiny
however i am not beautiful
i am me
i thought my mother could see
i though this was one room where i was safe
now i find i just want to fly away
i try to be the daughter that is respectful
but the more i go i am the black sheep of the family
i am ugly
i am fat
i accepted it
why must you always remind me of that
i didnt chose my tummy
i didnt choose the lack of funny
i didnt choose to be ugly
If i was beautiful you would love me
i am the lucky one you see
i see the people really
thats why its just my dog Koa and me
he doesnt mind what i look like
dogs sniffs butts
as long as they are warm and fed they will stay not leaving you for dead maybe until you are dead
be careful what you say friends
the knife wounds are easier to heal then cutting words in the end
the feelings way a lot longer
make sure there is always sweet stronger
dont have to sugarcoat
dont have to shame
don't have to rock the boat
or play foolish games
just say something nice
if not silence is wise
if i was beautiful you would love me
but God made me ugly
i think I am the one that is lucky
i can see the difference between fake and real love
I can love myself better even if its alone
At least i know in the end I can give myself a safe home
if i was beautful you would love me
but only the ugly can be seen
so you don't you wont
otherwise you would try to remember how the things make me feel
your love would be real
here i am walking on this path of broken dreams
its really hard to deal
when you are walking all alone
but alone is the love letter because there are no lies polluting the home
no toxic things coming through texts on the phone
but all these things just help me stand stronger on my own.
if i was skinny i would be beautiful
then you could truly love me
but you dont

I know that it is cliche, I know that most would say whatever but, beauty and I mean the true beauty of a person is found deeply inside of them. Outward appearances, well, I know what society says but I am sure you are beautiful and if he got to know you, he would love you.
