Beautiful

I've known you for ages, and we're old friends
But I've never had the guts to be honest, truly honest
With you, you're beautiful
I know you won't admit it, but it's about time you did
Because in my eyes, you're beautiful
And it's not just mine, love, go ask around
There's not one man, woman, who will twist my words around
We all see what you don't, your mirror is broken, love
If what you see isn't god-given grace, then beauty doesn't exist

And no, dear, this isn't going to be short, not that length matters
It's not idiotic of me to say, is it, that you're beautiful?
I'm going to drill it into your head, love, you may as well accept it, love
I never lose a fight, love, because you're beautiful
You have that sort of way about you
It makes people drawn to you, inner beauty is nothing
Unless it shows on the outside
And it does, even though I don't want to see your innards

Your personality is reflected by your laugh
Your history by your eyes
Your pain by your scars
You're beautiful, though
You never say enough about how you feel
But you make a point about how your pain is real
I never doubted you for a second, never will
You'll go places, love, don't forget me here
Remember me, Beautiful

Remember this poem when your mirror is fixed
And you'll finally see the beauty mixed with the lies
That you're not good enough, but you'll see through that shit
Because you're beautiful, love, don't mistake it for mediocre
You're far beyond being below anyone
But first, love, keep in mind,
You're beautiful
