Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. "It isn't fair," she said.

well this took a turn

Aphorism, this quote is told a lot,just like in Bruno Mars' song "Just the Way You Are." This quote is especially brought up to teens who feel like they need to change who they are to be accepted by society.

No better you than the you that you are (no better you than the you that you are)
repetition, saying you a lot in this lines really emphasizes her message that "you" should just be yourself, and how that's the "best you"

Scars To Your Beautiful
I feel the overall song is a conflict between the author and herself, trying to tell herself that she doesn't need to be a cover girl or model to feel and be beautiful.
