This Is Me

Location

I'm not just who you say I am,
I worked hard to get where I am today.
It took everything I had to just get out of bed to face difficulties.
You laugh now but I am serious.
In my past and present I was bullied.
Bullied for my height,
My weight,
My hair,
And my everything.

But now, now is the day.
Now is the moment where I wake up and say,
Rise and shine gillie bean don't be afraid,
You were born flawless in every way.
Forget all the comments that drove us away.
And look up at the people who throw compliments that are here to stay.

There's no reason to hide when it's such a nice day,
Put on your favorite outfit and strut off far away.
You've worked hard to get where you are.
You may not be perfect and that's okay,
Because to him, her, and me you're already flawless.
Now let's start off the day.
