Forgive yourself: They're not on the same level as you.
You can tell me too keep my head down,
Instead I chose chin up.
You can tell me to quit,
Instead I choose to finish.
You can tell me I'm ugly,
Instead I told myself I'm beautiful.
You can tell me I'm fat,
Instead I say I'm perfect.
You can tell me I'm mean,
Instead I add no,I'm honest.
You can tell me I live in low poverty,
Instead I mention my mind is wealthy.
You can tell me you hate me,
Instead I preferred to bless you.
You can tell me my dreams won't work,
Instead I manifest every imagination.
You can tell me I'm unimportant,
Instead I show you how relevant I am.
