I am beautiful I am unique I am everything everyone compliments me on I am talented I am gifted I am amazing at what I do I am kind I am generous I am too nice at times I am not what people have called me I am not the lies I tell myself I am not the thoughts that keep me awake at night I am not my mother I am not what I call myself I am not me I am not what I look like on the outside I am what people hear when they speak to me I am the sweet words of encouragement that I talk to you I am sorry I am sorry for myself I am not my mother I am not my mom I am me I am here I am present I am alive I am not what I look like I am not a failure I am good I am me I am a promise kept forever I am lied to forever I am forever I am living a life my mother would be jealous of I am me and
