The Mirror's Truth

I know I am not good enough,

I do not need others telling me that.

I know my flaws and shortcomings,

I see them every day in the mirror.

But I am also aware of my strengths,

Of the things I am good at.

I know that I can achieve great things,

If I just believe in myself.

So I will not let others' words

Defeat me or make me feel worthless.

I will not let them define me,

Or tell me who I am.

I am my own person,

With my own unique journey to walk.

I will not let anyone else

Stand in my way.

I will keep moving forward,

Even when it is hard.

I will keep believing in myself,

Even when others don't.

Because I know that I am good enough,

Even if they don't.
