Excellence Award in the 'Legendary 2012' competition
I cry, as the sadness within me grows.
The heartache of being called names.
All the lies and the rumors make me wonder, am I good enough?
Am I able to be the person that I want to be?
Can I accept the fact that I'm worthy of being me!
I used to be happy, but someone changed that.
I'm not confident enough to be who I truly am!
Fun and happy and me!
As the pain grows so do the tears, the bruises, the cuts and the scrapes, all grow to hide me!
Me, loud, exuberant, fun, that's no longer me.
It's time that I start to say, I am the one and only me.
That's who I am and I am worthy!!
