I work so hard
To be enough

And I'm tired
But I'll keep going

Because it makes me worthy.

I am worthy
When I pass out from exhaustion

I am worthy
When I've worked myself dead

I am worthy
When I win the award
Or get the part
Or beat the rest

I will be worthy
When I can show the world
No matter how I appear

I am not a bumbling fool.

I will not be ridiculed again
Or have my intelligence questioned

I am capable
I have earned this place
And nobody
Will make me feel lesser than

I won't let it happen again
