I Am Enough
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 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.
I finally decided to believe in me,
I realized I was worth so much.
This was when I could see through the storm,
when I allowed my soul to be touched.
But I know that I will always love myself,
no matter what-I AM ENOUGH!!!
