The Beautiful People

Titled The Beautiful People by Ariel Gray

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Nothing is unbeautiful, its just in they way you see things
There is no such thing as too short or too light, too dark, too skinny, too fat

It doesn't matter if he's a deadbeat, if your family says your too lazy and too weird
It doesn't matter of you spent your childhood in and out of unfamiliar beds, cars, rehab and towns
It doesn't matter if you have to cover your arms and legs in order to hide your past from the world, to keep people from thinking too much about you
It doesn't matter if you're still trying to convince yourself you're OK
It doesn't matter that you have to hide those pills that you sneak into your mouth each night
It doesn't matter if what we call beauty you only see as pain
It doesn't matter if you spend every waking hour filling your head with images that are only making you more ill
It doesn't matter if you say I have a plan, when what you really mean is that you have no fucking clue
It doesn't matter if the more they tell you no the more you're screaming yes inside
It doesn't matter if that horrid word has a face, the one that haunts you in your dreams - they know they did it, and it will eat away at them year after year
It doesn't matter if you know you have the world in your hands
It doesn't matter if at one point you thought of throwing it all away
It doesn't matter that you think love can never last
It doesn't matter that your waiting for the happiness to end
It doesn't matter that you close your eyes at night and wish it will all work out in the end

It only matters that you never give in
That you never lay down
That you never close your eyes for too long

You are beautiful
When you believe it, the rest of the world believes it too
You are your only best friend, your only worst enemy, your only trusted companion, your only supporter, you are the only one that wants the best for you, and you are the only one that can make your dreams come true.

Look in the mirror, and love what you see.
Never pick out the flaws, only point out the good.

You are the key that unlocks the door to whatever you want in the world, and its up to you to figure that out.
