I Am Beautiful
©2010 Adrienne Shamszad

I used to make lists
I used to make lists
But they let me down
And I don’t keep them around anymore
Anymore

Time was so far away
Forms and people fade
I was flat but now I’m round
I roll through every door, every door, every door

I am beautiful
I’ll sing it until I believe it
I am beautiful
Whether or not they can see it
I, I am beautiful

I used to be made of glass
I used to be made of glass
But I shattered and now I’m not the same as before As before, as before

And then I was made of stone
I was rough and hard and cold
But the weight of me broke of me broke my own bones And I’m not the same as before
As before

I am beautiful
I’ll sing it until I believe it
I am beautiful
Whether or not they can see it
I, I am beautiful

I sing to the wind
I scream at the dirt
But I never listened
I made lists, I made plans
I made promised
But I never made wishes
And now I know
Now I know
Nobody else can ever make me whole

You, You are the Sun
I am the ocean
Love me like Your long lost one
You, You are the Sun
I am the ocean
Love me like Your long lost one
I am beautiful
I’ll sing it until I believe it I am beautiful
Whether or not they can see it I, I am beautiful
