You cannot change what is part of you
although I've often tried
My body was never thin enough
my imperfections I'd always hide
I smiled when they said I was beautiful
I laughed when they said I was great
But it took a long time to believe in their words
I figured loneliness was my fate
The boys I wanted didn't want me
I was tossed, used and torn
So many took me as a joke,
I crawled inside myself-scared and forlorn.
My self-asteem had let me down,
my belief in myself was nil.
I did not understand where I was headed,
could not understand until...
I finally decided to believe in me,
I realized I was worth so much
This is when I could see through the storm,
when I allowed my soul to be touched
I sometimes wish for money or love,
when times get distressing or tough,
but I know that I will always love myself,
no matter what-
I AM ENOUGH!
