Sometimes I

by ~Ms. Sarah~ - Cancer

Sometimes I can look in the mirror and feel beautiful,
feel happy with myself
And other times I hate the reflection thats
starring back at me
I want to just run away or cover my eyes
Afraid people will think the same things I am thinking
That I'm ugly, I'm awful
I'm too fat and unworthy
Sometimes I dont feel I deserve anything good to
happen to me
That I shouldnt be loved or respected
That I'm not good enough for a guy to treat me right
Or I'll let my friends walk all over me,
I let them take advantage
I dont care enough about myself
Even though I know in my heart I'm good enough,
Im strong
I'm kind and pretty and worth something
That I'm talented, maybe I just havent
found my talent yet
I know I need respect because I treat others
the way I want to be treated
I know in my heart Im not ugly
No one is, everyone is beautiful in their own
special way
Sometimes its inside, sometimes its outside, 
often its both
My heart feels bad for the less fortunate
I know Im very lucky for the things I have and
the life I live
I know all these things in my heart,
I wish they would just go to my head
I want to believe it in my mind
I dont like feeling sad or down
I have no reason to be depressed
I dont want to wait around for the life
I think I want
I want to live, I want to go and never stop
Live each day to the fullest
Be happy inside, change my future
Make my own destiny, Do for myself
Because I know I can
I just need to start instead of saying 
Im going to start
