More Than Good Enough

Its 2019 gotta put on my most expensive clothes
Have to make sure Im looking my best
Wait hold up! Back up...
I dont wear makeup because im not pretty 
Its because i sit infront of the mirror criticizing my face
Why are all the girls prettier than me 
I find myself staring at all the other girls envying them
To wake up pretty and have the most expensive clothes
To have the most attractive and loyal boyfriend ever
To have people basically worshipping at your feet
I feel like I DONT FIT IN 
I dont fit it with my friend group
That i'm the weird awkward one
I never fit in with my friends 
Society is screaming at me that Im not good enough
Im not good enough for me or the people in this world
I criticize my body saying I'm not skinny enough
I stand in the mirror and sometimes I cry
But i didnt come here to write a poem on the negative I came here to open your eyes to show you that you are not the only one who feels this way 
I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH
