I Am Good Enough

I've been thinking

a lot.

I've been thinking a lot about me,

how I view myself vs. how others see me.

I've always seen myself as less than,

not good enough.

I don't excell at anything.

I'm not that smart

or good at the things I love.

But all my friends

see me as a positive, normal teenager.

But they don't know what I've gone through.

I don't know if they ever will.

But I'm willing to live with that,

until I'm ready to tell them,

just so I can be happy with myself

at least for a little while.

I want to learn to accept myself for who I am.

I may not look the way I want to,

I may be untalented,

but I'm me

and that took me way to long to figure out.

Thank you to those few people who helped me

discover who I am,

realize that I am good enough,

no matter what anyone says.
