Am I enough?
Am I good enough?
Am I pretty enough?
Am I smart enough?
I want to know.
I need validation.
I crave approval.
Am I enough?
Enough to be accepted in a world
Where fat is ugly.
Where skinny is unhealthy.
Where makeup makes you desperate.
Where no makeup makes you hideous.
Where skirts make you a whore.
Where long pants make you a prude.
Where being a virgin makes you uptight.
Where not being a virgin makes you easy.
Where girls are quiet and sensitive.
Where boys are outspoken and tough.
Will we ever have approval?
Who's approval do we seek?
Ourselves?
Our friends?
Our parents?
Society's?
They search as well.
Am I enough?
Have I earned your approval?
