It's sad when one of the few people we look towards for acceptance are never happywith us. Personally, I loved this poem. The rhyming may have been a bit forced at times, but the meaning shines through.

"but your just like everyone else mom
it doesnt matter whats within
as long as we are beautiful
no one will look beneath the skin"

There's a sad truth to that, as it's usually the most inner beautiful people who are looked over.

You finished it nicely too, it's great that you are able to accept yourself especially with somebody telling you that you should be different. Again, I truly enjoyed this poem.

Always be proud of who you are :)
