Alphabet Book for Millenials

E is for Equal

Born under two stars
That fight against me
To keep me
From my dreams

Born with a sense of self loathing
Maybe it was learned

Open the gates
Here I am
Waiting patiently for my turn
But what if it never comes?

Because I am not enough
Because others will never accept me
I thought if I changed myself
And became like everyone else
Maybe I could be happy too

Guess I was wrong
No amount of makeup
Can cover this pain
This skin
I could drown in insecurities and
Never know what love is

Because I
Am not enough
