"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail." - Ralph Waldo Emerson


Finally figuring it out,
I'm not at all a loser like they said,
They were wrong and I am not ugly,
My voice should be heard and not hidden,
Popularity in high school doesn't actually mean
Everything.
Maybe now they will figure it out,
They will see that I am actually a fun person,
I am beautiful inside and out,
My voice is wonderful because it loves being honest,
And although I am a weirdo by others' standards I believe I am
Everything.
Now don't get me wrong and think I'm full of myself,
I just want to show the world that I will no longer back down
From the overwhelming pressure to be someone other than myself,
I can now write the things I feel and the world does listen,
You are my proof that someone in fact may care about my
Everything.

Finally my self-esteem is getting stronger.
What others say means so much less.
