Never give up on love. In the end, it is what will save you.

Not pretty enough.
Not skinny enough.
Not smart enough.
When will I ever be enough?
Wishing and waiting
For that change to come.
All I want is to be loved,
To be accepted
Should I change my hair?
Maybe my clothes?
Or should my personality go?
Walking aimlessly through the halls,
Wanting for my life to change.
Why can't something good come along?
How long do I have to pray for a new day?
I'm tired of trying to impress those
Who say I will never be enough
I guess I will keep trying,
Or maybe I should just give up..
