Beautiful

for so long
i saw myself so badly
stupid and lazy
sad and crazy
fat and gross

i stayed in my little room
singin' my ugly tunes
tracing the lines hidden underneath my sleeves
hashtag cuts
a forest of dead trees

but then
i found
a secret:

there's a girl in saint-marie
just like me
just like me

she likes all the same toys as me
makes all the same noise as me
and she noticed me
from across the sea

a girl in saint-marie
just like me
just like me

she is chunky
and she is beautiful
beautiful
beautiful

her teeth stick out
she's got a sad little pout
and she is beautiful
beautiful
beautiful

she says her palms sweat too much
and some day i will touch them
i'll kiss her wrist
just like this

a girl in saint-marie
just like me

she says there is joy inside me
and i just have to trust where my heart goes
she says there is light inside me
but sometimes all i see are the shadows

she says there's a star inside me
burning up my soul everyday
she says there is god inside me
and god is everything
darkness and light
all the same, all the same
how i tremble when she types out my name

oh you fool
you fool
it's all within yourself

oh you fool
you fool
it's all within myself

how lucky for me
a girl across the sea
who speaks to me
in whispering emoji

and i found her
and she found me
in the lonely ugly chaos
of the internet

this ugly thing
lets me sing
so beautiful
beautiful
beautiful

yes i am
beautiful
beautiful
beautiful

beautiful
beautiful too
