I think self hate is fed to us since birth
that we must always hide away our
"flaws"
must always look like a 10
must always look thinner
curvier
have perfect flawed skin
my whole life my worth was counted on
by how beautiful I looked
and to now break that
and to find myself beautiful
but without that being the whole of my worth
feels so incredibly hard
to beat the voices in my head
that belittle me
the greatest compliments
were I love your soul
I love your energy
your so beautiful and kind
and loving and compassionate
why can't we as a society judge others
yes by their beauty because we are all beautiful
but also by how kind our souls are.
