Whatever You Do
Do not call me beautiful
Until you have seen me broken;
Tears streaming down my cheeks
And snot dripping onto my lips.
Do not call me funny
Until you have seen the dark corners
And twisted secrets
My mind holds within.
Do not call me strong
Until you have seen me at my worst;
Saying I don't care
And about to give up.
But whatever you do,
Do not call me ugly
Until you have seen my eyes
Lit up by the brightness
Of the setting sun.
Do not call me boring
Until you have seen me talk
About the things that
I am most passionate.
Do not call me weak
Until you have seen me stand;
Facing the world once again
And saying, "I've won."
