I Am Enough

You cannot change what is a 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 lonliness 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 esteem had let me down,
My believe 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 that I was worth so much
This was when I could see
I am enough
