Don't look at me too closely,
Don't tell me of my beauty,
For I've been told I'm undeserving
And so am not yet ready to believe
That there's anything good I could ever do
Or that I'm ever quite enough
For I was told "You're stupid"
And was never good enough.
I deserve enough to love me
I deserve enough to care
But compliments I bat away
Because I'm not quite there.
But one day I'll accept it
One day it will be me
And each day's a step towards it
The day I learn to love me,
Completely.
