Low Esteem

Could you ever love someone like that
Who's always in combat
Against their own reflection
I just need protection
Could you love someone like that

I hated my skin
My face
Felt
Like a disgrace
Out of place
Everyday

Got stretch marks on my booty
To young to see my beauty
Refused the beach
Didn't want people to see
The scars on my back
From where I used to scratch
Covered up my arms
So you wouldn't be alarmed
Now I'm older
But still insecure with my body
Nobody's seen me fully
Nobody's loved me truly

Could you ever love someone like that
Who's always in combat
Against their own reflection
I just need protection
Could you love someone like that

Ranked myself a six when I was younger
Plus a point if you count personality, damn
That's some low self esteem
And I don't want to need other people's validation for myself
But it's hard, oh it's hard
Sad that out of all the things I've accomplished
This is the one that I'm still conquering
It's true that beauty's in the eye of the beholder
Just thought I'd like myself more when I was older

Could you ever love someone like that
Who's always in combat
Against their own reflection
I just need protection
Could you love someone like that
