A draft I found from April for the poetry unit in English class (you think I might be a little depressed?). We had to write poems to submit to a province-wide contest and this was the rough draft.

Am I Good Enough?
I lay in my bed late at night
Staring at the ceiling
Tossing and turning - it's torture now
Thinking the same thing
Am I good enough?
Staring at myself in the mirror
I see a stranger staring back
Holding a tsunami of emotion down
Though it just looks like tears
Am I good enough?
It's a never ending roller coaster
Down in the deep, dark, depths
I see others succeed while I struggle
It's not obvious but it's there
Am I good enough?
Loving myself is like a candle underwater
And smiling has just become a task
Will my confidence levels ever rise?
Will it ever be my time to shine?
Will I ever be good enough?
