I Am
Stupid, Ugly, Scared,
That is all I saw
Looking at the sasquatch
Staring back from the wall.
Why am I not intelligent?
Why am I not beautiful?
Why am I not confident?
I see a stubborn girl
who yells way too much,
A stubborn girl
who is not at all tough.
I see a selfish girl,
thoughtful of her needs,
A selfish girl,
to no one she will heed.
I see a careless girl
who does not think things through,
A careless girl,
her brain seems empty from your point of view.
I see a wimpy girl
afraid of reaching out,
A wimpy girl,
to everyone, she bows.
I see an unhappy girl,
she is unhappy with her life,
An unhappy girl,
of hope, she has lost sight,
she loses every fight.
Three years pass
Now I look in the mirror.
I see something different,
It could not be clearer.
I am intelligent.
I am beautiful.
I am confident.
I see a strong-willed girl,
sometimes a little too much,
A strong-willed girl
that proves she is tough.
I see a loving girl,
thoughtful of others,
A loving girl
who loves like a mother.
I see a dedicated girl
that always follows through,
A dedicated girl,
always keeps her promise to you.
I see a forgiving girl
who puts problems in the past,
A forgiving girl
whose heart is so vast.
I see a happy girl,
she is happy with her lfe,
A happy girl
Whom God has helped right,
Who has had so much to fight.
