Excellence Award in the 'Horizon of Dreams 2018' competition

Whether it's long black hair or hazel eyes
Skinny legs or big thighs
Short, tall, white or black
Self-confidence is what we lack
We’re all beautiful in our own way
Every single second
Of every single day
Now we have to face reality
Now we own our own identity
You don't have to change a thing
You’re a graceful bird
Who needs to spread its beautiful wings
And fly...
