Society plays a huge part ,
in how people act and feel.
A certain image is portrayed ,
if you don't fit it people make a big deal.
I know because I am 'the odd one out' ,
the short ,fat ugly one people laugh at.
As a child I'd cry myself to sleep ,
worried about this and that.
I hated having to go to school ,
would tell my mum I was ill everyday.
She could see right through me ,
and would send me on my way.
Having spent years trying to change ,
wanting to be like everybody else.
I have now realised its not worth it ,
because theres nothing wrong in being yourself.
My dad once said beauty comes from within ,
ok he's my dad he'd say anthing to make me feel better.
But I do believe there is a truth in what he says ,
for whats on the outside should not matter.
It's what lies deep within each and everyone one of us ,
because inside we are all the same.
We all have feelings and we can all hurt ,
everyone has a right to be who they are and not feel shame.
