Am I not good enough


I wake up

I walk to the bathroom to look in the mirror

I gaze into the mirror with disgust at what I see

I cover it up with makeup and jewlery

Am I not good enough?

I head to school

People look at me with shock

they whisper about me through the halls

What? Am I not good enough

I head to class feeling and looking ashamed

First block goes by and in between block change

the popular girl walks up

she bullies me on how my face looks

on how Im fat

or even how I dress

Am I not good enough for you?

before I know it, school's over

I walk home feeling even more ashamed

A boy walks by me and spits on me

he shouts "look at how ugly you are! you have to weat lots of makeup!"

I run home crying

I get my pajamas on

I brush my teeth

I wash off my makeup

I look in the mirror one. last. time

Am I not good enough
