you can be that girl

that everyone sees

that everyone knows

that everyone loves

 


you can be skinny

and pretty

and perfect

you can smile when you look in the mirror

and never second guess yourself again

 


you can be confident

own any room you’re in

finally reach the standard you’ve held yourself to for the longest time

be smart

well spoken

witty

and brave

 


You can be that girl that you’ve always wanted to be

but why would you want to?

 


what’s the fun in pretty, perfect, and poised?

you can be nerdy, weird, and shy.

be a book worm

a comic fan

And obsessed with metal and classical music at the same time

 


who’s to say skinny is perfect? And loved means seen?

you can eat without shame

and shop for clothes with pride.

isn’t perfect what you want it to be?

 


it is.

 


you can be that girl

that you think you have to be

or...

you can just live your amazing life

and be the girl you were always meant to be.
