To the girl who doesn't smile to hide her teeth...
To the quiet boy afraid of his lisp...
To anyone who has ever been picked on, mistreated or judged…
This is for you
They call us nerds, dorks, weirdoes,
oddballs, and outcasts; but they don't
really know us. They shun us, despise us, hurt us, threaten, beat,
embarrass and scorn us. But they need to
take the time to see the truth. You can't judge a book by its cover! So why
judge a person by what you see on the outside? It says nothing about what's going on within us!
Because, that kid: you have nice
eyes!
That girl: you have a beautiful smile!That quiet boy: you have a great personality!
And to all of you who have been ridiculed someway, somehow: you're amazing just the way you are.
You
shouldn't be afraid to be yourself; you shouldn't have to hide the true you. So don’t let their words chain you, don’t
let their opinions bring you down, because those are lies.
This
is the truth about beautiful you:
What they
call your "disability",
Does not
determine your ability.
And what
they say is your imperfection,
Helps to
make you perfect in your own way.
There is
no mold you have to fit,
No one you
have to please.
Simply be
yourself,
That’s all
you need to be!
