A hero to save me
i looked in the mirror today
and hated what i saw
i piled on make up
just to feel like i look beautiful
people tell me I'm beautiful
without the make up
they say, I'm pretty just the way i am
but i cant see what they see
i think they are crazy
or maybe its me, maybe I'm the crazy one
it is me, i put myself down, i hate the way i look, i feel so overweight
to worthless to love
daddy said I'm fat, said i needed to be 80 lbs to be the perfect weight
i believed everything he said to me
and as i walk away, years later
after i was rescued
i still cant stop my mind
from repeating those things
i met a boy at school
i was a little scared
when he asked me out
because i didn't want him to be like the rest
i said yes, thought id give love another try
he turned out to be wonderful
loving, caring, everything i wanted
i love him and i try to believe
everything he sees, and says to me
he says,
I'm beautiful
incredible
totally worth it
funny
irresistible
everything you wanted
i am glad he found me
he actually loves me
he is making me believe
that i am somebody
that i matter
he is my love
and i will love him forever and ever.
