Each of us as unique
As an individual snowflake
Never forget who you are
Each of us a star
You may not see it
You may not believe it
It’s there anyway
No matter what others say
All you have to do
Is believe in you
And other will too
Don’t let them put you down
When in doubt, just look around
No one’s perfect as they seem
It’s all just a scheme
To make us think lower
Of ourselves and cower
In the background
Not make a sound
To simply disappear
But I refuse to shed a tear
Over what people think of me
Because I know I’m beautiful in every way
I don’t care what any of them say
So I hope you know
You are who you are
And that is beautiful

The author's comments:
Never doubt yourself. That is what I hope people learn from this. I wrote this because I know the pressures of high school and how people are always putting you down. I hope this shows people to not listen to those comments. To always know they're beautiful...
