I wanted to be a soccer player, but I didn't
Because nobody said I was good enough.
I wanted to be a dancer, but I didn't
Because I was made fun of.
I wanted to take AP classes, but I didn't
Because they said I wasn't smart enough for them.
I wanted to get thin, but I didn't
Because they said I didn't have discipline.
I wanted to eat, but I didn't
Because I didn't think I was good enough.

Only then did they tell me that I was good enough.
Before that, they didn't show me love.
Then they told me I could do anything.
I knew that they were lying.

I was so cold in those days
All I cared about was how much I weighed.
There was nothing left of me
I was trying to be
  Someone I knew wasn't me.
 
It's been so long.
I still don't think I'm good enough.
They don't tell me anymore
Because I'm not dying on the floor.
They only cared when I was dying
And now I'm surviving.
They don't give a s*** about me
They never will, I now see.
I'm not dying for perfection
I don't care about my reflection.
I'm not a soccer player
I'm not a dancer
I'm not in AP classes
And I'm not thin
But I'm me.
That's all I'll ever be.
