I am smart, I tell myself every day
But somehow i fail to say it today
You are beautiful, they say
Too bad I'm so insecure...

Florida
Sunny
Warm
Normal
Everyone is unique
But we manage to fit in
It's nice that way

I'm smart
I know, I have proof
Proof for everyone who doubts me
I'm creative
I know... At least, I think I know
It's hard to tell sometimes
I'm popular
I know, I have friends
More than I can count
I'm beautiful
Ha!
I wish I could say that with certainty

I try so hard...
To please others
To prove myself
To show I'm good enough
Sometimes it doesn't feel like enough

I've learned though
It's ok to not be ok
Maybe I don't have to be perfect
I don't have to be the "little ray of sunshine"
I can just be me
