People tell you,
you are too dark like an ink,
People tell you,
you are extremely unattractive like villains,
People tell you,
you are really unsmart like SpongeBob,
People tell you,
you are too short like an elf,
People tell you,
you are too tall like a giraffe
People tell you,
you are too skinny like a dry fish,
People tell you,
you are too fat like an elephant,
But….
You should tell them,
NOBODY IS PERFECT,
Everyone has something they are concerned about,
Whether it’s their appearance or their characteristics,
Nobody is perfect,
This is normal because we are human beings!!
So, don’t let the monsters lower your self-esteem.
