Never good Enough

I was around nine years old when I started to hate myself...

I was never good enough

I would tell myself...

I stopped eating

I skipped meals

I kept quiet because

I was never good enough

 

Even now... I am fourteen

I am never good enough

 

I try not to compare myself to others, but I scroll through my phone, I see how other people look...

I will never be good enough

I keep telling myself...

 

The world tells us all bodies are beautiful, but at the same time, it tells us to lose weight or gain...

The world keeps telling us we are beautiful, but to put on more makeup...

The world tells us we can do anything, but when we try, we get ignored, criticized, and bullied...

 

Maybe that's why we don't feel good enough
