you say i weigh too much,
you say i'm too skinny,
i tell myself that i'm fine.

you say that my eyes are too small,
you say that my eyes are too big,
i tell myself that i'm fine.

you say i look too "white",
you say i look too "dark" or "yellow",
i tell myself that i'm fine.

you say that i am too loud,
you say that i'm too quiet,
i tell myself that i'm fine.

you say that i'm a prude,
you say that i'm a slut,
i tell myself that i'm fine.

you say that i'm too demanding,
you say that i have no control over my life,
i tell myself i'm fine.

you say that i don't have a brain,
you say that i'm too controlling,
i tell myself that i am just fine.

i will not let your judgement change me.
