Self Acceptance

There's an emptiness inside of me 
when you're looking at her and not at 
me. Not good enough i feel like, 
that's what its always been, always 
someone better hanging around the 
bend. Though deep inside i know im 
something great so why do these 
guys still dissipate? Beautiful 
smile,shining eyes,joyous laughter 
contagious and alive. Soft pale 
skin,amazing sense of humor,wiser 
than my years, stronger than my 
fears. Then a glance at these girls 
and i have to laugh, im more a 
woman than they could ever be so 
why am i sitting here contemplating?
