Buy this car,
You will get girls,
Buy this bra,
You will get guys.

We are seeing it so much,
We start to believe in these lies,
But the truth is ,

The makeup they are selling
to make you feel prettier,
Is the same makeup you buy,
to stop feeling *******.


And what about the movies we watch,
all the shows on TV,
The more I watch, the more I see,
I need you to complete me ?

And yes,

Love is the answer,
Love is the key,
But if you can't love yourself,
How could you ever love me ?


When I said I am dumb,
You would say I am so brilliant,
When I said I am weak,
You would  say I am so resilient.

Why was you so dutifully,
Filling my cup constantly,
And yet treating your own cup
So irresponsibly.

Now you have been crying,
But  I need you need to be standing,
Because you have been forgetting,
That you were who you've been looking for.

Remember this in your core,
It's time to stop looking for more,
Until you could look through all your fear,
And look into a mirror.
And see clearly that the woman,
looking back at you,
Was the only one who can make you happy,


And
YOU ARE ALREADY ENOUGH



I am not anymore special and unique than you,
That is why I'm here to tell you,

YOU
ARE ALREADY ENOUGH

And when you start to see that,
You will start to be that,
Your world will get brighter,
And your load will get lighter.
And you can see that with life,
You can be a lover,
Not a fighter.


And that life ?
YOU DESERVE IT

Because
YOU ARE WORTH IT



There is no point letting
yourself keep forgetting
Because no matter what you say or do,
YOU ARE PERFECT

So today,
I hope I can leave you with a direction correction,
Away from the flaws you see in your reflection,

They aren't flaws to me
They are simply protection
Against all the doubt
You have of your perfection.
