I'm good enough;
I don't care what you say.
I'm proud of what
I accomplished today.
Maybe I didn't win
Or even place,
But I tried really hard
And finished the race.
I set a personal best,
Which makes me feel good.
I did much better
Than I thought I could.
Why do you criticize
And try to make me feel small?
Does it make you feel better
When I stumble and fall?
Well, I'm here to tell you
That I won't let your words hurt.
Because when I fall,
I'll just pick myself up from the dirt.
And I'll keep on fighting
Until the end,
With a cheerleader in my corner,
Because I'm my own best friend.
So unless you have something
Positive to say,
I suggest you keep your mouth shut
And just go away.
Because my best friend and I
Are about to celebrate;
And we can do without you
Or your small-minded hate.
Don't Let Others Define You
Wow! I absolutely, 100%, love this! I think this would be a good lesson for everyone to learn. People shouldn't just rely on others to compliment them, and just because somebody thinks...
I'm My Own Best Friend
