Know You're Enough

I might not be beautiful, skinny, tall…
Let’s call it perfect, no that’s not me at all.
We all have our differences that we’d wish to change,
But let’s stop this madness and not think this way.
Let’s lift our head high and live life at its fullest,
There’s no room for regrets, so let’s take that darn bullet.
Don’t be afraid of what others might think,
Come out of that box and show you're unique.
Don’t think for a second that you aren’t good enough,
Pull your shoulders back and show everyone you’re tough.
Know that our uniqueness is what makes us so special & true,
Mean when you say, ‘I am proud of me’, you’ll shine bright, you’ll shine right through.
Don’t be anyone else, not anyone but YOU!
