I Love Me For Me

I finally feel comfortable in my own skin

I don't need makeup to feel pretty

I don't hate my body

I love the way my clothes fit, not matter what they say

But you always hate on me

For loving my body, and feeling like me

You say I'm supposed to express myself, but you limit the creativity

"You shouldn't care what others say"

But you shame me for my style

A paradox isn't the key

To living a happy life

You scream in my face that I'm a bitch and a motherfucker

Because you're jealous of my angelic personality

Personally, I think you hate how much you love me

You can throw my clothes away, since you paid for those

But you can't throw away my confidence and resilience

I finally feel comfortable in my own skin

I don't need makeup to feel pretty

I don't hate my body

I love the way my clothes fit, not matter what you say

Why can't you love me for me?

You hate my chosen family

But they accept me and praise me

They are proud of my accomplishment

All you do is scream that I'm stupid for getting a B

A 92 or above in all honors or AP is crazy, but you don't care

You can say I'm ungrateful, and that I have everything I need

But I need a loving family who doesn't hate the me they can't see

I finally feel comfortable in my own skin

I don't care what you think about me

I love myself and others who love me for me
