Beauty

Lines tally themselves at my eyes A gift of time and years of laughter My age is my virtue My lips a little crooked when they slide in a smile Give me kisses to remember Perfect in my imperfection Don't change me, no Don't save me, I'm just fine And I'm better off without you Don't change me, no Don't try and save me, I'm alright And I'm better off without you A few too many freckles at the tip of my nose I'm not the perfect zero But my curves are my virtue I've got no secrets, I'll bare my soul Nothing to hide when a heart is open, oh I am more than my reflection We're all searching for ourselves Standing before our own eyes Begging to be noticed Snowflakes aren't formed in a mold Flowers don't choose their shades And butterflies don't paint their wings Don't change me, no Don't try and save me, I'm alright And I'm better off without you Don't change me, no Don't try and save me, I'm alright And I'm better off without you You told me I should be younger, I should be thinner Brighter, lighter, taller, softer, smaller Am I not more than that?
