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.
I do not claim the credit for this. This poem is by my friend Hannah Watson.

I've come back
Unapologetically
Dropped the act
Ignoring what was thought of me
Like a smack
Woken up from darkened dreams
Stealth attack
I've gotten back my everything
Watch me crack
But never lost a broken piece
Welcome back
Yes, I've come back

There is new life in the air
Wake up to the sweetness of new intensity
Take in an abundant amount
Take in all you can
Leave no indication of your prior lack of existence
Be the you, you have constantly challenged

Wake up and get your new life in order...

There she was
standing in front of the mirror
with pale skin, showing ribs
and a shrunk body.

There she was
standing in front of the mirror
starving, listless
weak and powerless.

There she was
standing in front of the mirror
comparing herself with
all the girls on the internet.
"You're beautiful just the way you are." ☄

Please don´t beat yourself up when things don´t go as planned
Please let yourself cry when things go wrong
And smile whenever you want to
Do not suppress you're being into somebody you´re not
Or fear that you will never be loved
You don´t need someone to tell you that you´re good enough
Please remember why you got a word inked into your skin
Don´t die on me when I need you the most
You´re everything to me, with all the flaws you consider weaknesses
But I love you for them. It makes you, you, authentic and real
We have so much to explore and feel in this world
Just breathe and hold on, I want to open your eyes and see the horizon full of
the stars, you don´t want to be among them just yet
Once your time comes you will, but now it's not your time
So please just breathe, and take a moment at a time
Let the compass lead you, to wherever it desires to be
Be proud of your beliefs.
Where you came from.
Who you are.
Because in the end,
You are who you are.

If he makes your heart pace, and your palms sweat, he's not the one!

You will know he is the one when you are comfortable enough to pull the ugliest of faces without wondering if he still thinks you are beautiful.

I see this bright night!
I see this darkened day!
I see the darkness light!
Which in the morning fades away!
I see the space end!
I see the time append!
I see this beautiful dirt!
I see this infinite Earth!
I see these coal shine!
I have what's not mine!
I see you but you don't see me!
I am in this cage yet i am free!

         -Vivek!

I thought that we were friends
What happened
Did we talk to much
Did i say something
Am i not good enough for you?
Where did i go wrong?
Are you gone forever
Will we be friends ever again?

I lost a friend
What happens
How do i tell you im sorry only when i dont always want to waste my breathe When you might not even care.

What happens next?
Will anything even happen?
Will i ever love again?
I loved you but.
What happened?

Why dont we talk?
What happened?
I wish we could be together.
where did i go wrong.
i cant believe i lost you over mainly
Nothing!!

I feel lost.
Hopeless.
Why do things happen.
What do i do.
These where my thoughts in one day.....

You want to keep me in a box,

but I’ll paint all over that box

with every color inside me

ready to burst

from my loud, imperfect mind.

-beauty is different
