Unwanted
By Grace Heinold
I am not good enough
I will not believe
That I am perfect just the way I am
Because the fact is
I am unwanted
I won’t listen to the people who say
It’s ok
When everything is turning on me I will remember
It’s all my fault
I can’t listen to people who think
I’m beautiful
When I look in the mirror I know
I’m worthless
I don’t have to believe
People will like me
