Why am I not good enough. I wake up. I look into the mirror trying to remember what I look like before. I walk into my closet. No clothes good enough. I find some people might like. Tight clothes, uncomfortable too. But the fact is that everyone will like them. I put on makeup trying to recognize the girl I saw when I woke. I can’t. The girl in the mirror, stealing my reflection. You walk into school with girls you don’t even like But they are popular That’s all you wanted. You can’t though Because you work hard at school And you stop working hard to walk in with those girls Why am I not good enough You look at those popular girls wishing you were them Why am I not good enough That night you take off your makeup Why am I so ugly Why am I not good enough I am good enough Wake up the next morning Wear clothes you comfortable in Wear no makeup Be the person you are. Work hard in class Get straight As You are good enough.
