Fight to be Flawless


Fight to be Flawless

I wake up; I am not thin enough.

I look in the mirror; my boobs are not big enough.

I run 9 miles; I am not struggling enough.

My coach wants to know what the team eats; I do not eat enough.

I ask myself "why am I not flawless enough?"

I wake up again and ask myself " why am I doing this?"

I tell myself

"I am enough."

"My self confidence is too thin and my hate for myself is too big."

Always seeking more.

I learn that I am enough.

I learn that I am fierce and that I can fight because I am flawless.

My self esteem makes me flawless.
