I Kissed Ugliness Goodbye

I kissed ugliness goodbye
since I found out I was gorgeous.
Not necessarily on the outside
'coz I have long accepted
I'll never be drop-dead hot
But I'm beautiful within
And I know people with good eyes
See it radiate inside out.

I kissed stupidity goodbye
since I found out I'm brilliant.
Not necessarily extraordinarily smart
'coz I have long accepted
I'll never excel academically.
But I'm brilliant in some other ways
And I know people who see geniuses
Could see one in me.

I kissed bitterness goodbye
since I found out I could be happy.
Not necessarily living life perfectly
'coz I have long accepted
I'll never have one.
But I'm contented though life is cruel
And I know deep down
I could be happy.

I kissed bullying goodbye
since I found out I'm strong.
Not necessarily I'll never fall
'coz I have long accepted
That I could momentarily be weak.
But I'm a fighter and I'll try not to break
And I know and I'll forever cling to this:
"Bullying is for losers!"
