I Couldn't Love Myself or Could I?

I couldn't love myself my eating disorder told me.
I couldn't love myself the world told me.
I couldn't love myself my friends told me.

I was either to skinny or to in between.
It was never about being me to them.
It was either society pointing out a few bumps on my chin or the people around me commenting on my weight.
But now I step away putting the ear plugs in.

I have the right to be comfortable in my own skin without anyone's say.
You can hate my flaws and
you can hate my weight.

But in the end I told myself I loved me and I walked away from all those people trying to change me.

I deserve to be happy even without changing me.
