Am I Good Enuf

Am I tough enuf to stand alone or cool enuf to please you? hurt my feelings, they don't count, you know that isn't really true How can you judge me when you don't know me? yet you think that you're better I may be different, not like the rest, but I'm not blind, for I do see You laugh at me behind my back then go and tell your friends that it's ok, I'm not all there, I guess that all depends What is it you think that I can't do as well? why do you want to hurt me, and make me feel like hell? I guess you'll find out too late that friends just can't be bought there is a lesson you must learn, a truth that must be taught Not in school, but from within seek out your higher power you better change your attitude, you're nothing but a coward Why am I not good enuf for you to hang around? why do you think I'm stupid, is that the way I sound? You think that you are smarter and take this life for granted but I work even harder, my feet are firmly planted Who the heck do you think you are to put me down, a superstar? I think not, for you are sick, my mind may be slow, but senses quick Am I good enuf for you? I doubt it very much but your opinions do not matter, here's a truth you cannot touch           (c) 1996 SmSThis is another of my early poems and very personal to me.
