Am I Good Enough? Poem by Devon McElveen

Am I strong enough?
Am I smart enough?
Am I fast enough?
Am I good enough?

Why do these questions plague my thoughts?
Why must I endure this criticism?
Why is it that I loathe myself?
Why is it that I can not accept myself?

Do I really need to think this way?
Do I really need to feel this way?
Do I not understand that I am unique?
Do I not enjoy being who I am?

Am I so eager to change myself so readily?
NO.

I am who I am.
No one shall change me.
If I can not be accepted
Then I do not want acceptance.

I am good enough,
And you can not change me.
