"We accept the love we think we deserve"


The told me I couldn't fly
I soared
They told me to close my eyes
I saw everything
They told me I was nothing
I became
They told me I would fail
I conquered
They told me I would never be good enough
I proved them wrong

This is for all the people who were told the weren't good enough. Never believe those people.

The more control you have over yourself, the less control others have over you.

Hi! This is such a great poem.. it really reflects on being good enough, no, on being the BEST. This is so sweet and simple and to the point, but has such a bigger meaning.. you are a really, really good writer. I am excited to read more of your work! I love this! You're great! Xx!
