I don't know how to see
The beauty within the beast,
Past the cellulite and fat above my knees,
One gorgeous feature at the very least.

Noticed but not too noticeable,
Be more than a number but not scream out loud;
No need to fear becoming invisible.

I don't know how to love correctly,
Love deeply and swiftly as Romeo and Juliet;
How to be powerful and vulnerable simultaneously;
How to accept myself--feels good, I bet.

I know how to see these faults and frown.
I don't love myself; instead, I drown.
