I see my reflection in the mirror
and tears trickle down my face
Am I pretty
I’m not so sure
Am I confident
I’m not so sure
Am I good enough
I’m not so sure
I stare at my reflection in the mirror
and I feel uncomfortable in my skin
Am I brown enough
I’m not so sure
Am I curvy enough
I’m not so sure
Am I tall enough
I’m not so sure
Am I smart enough
I’m not so sure
I take another look in the mirror
and I see myself for the first time
Damn you self-doubt
yes I’m enough
Damn you timidity
yes I’m enough
Damn you insecurities
yes I’m enough
Mariam Shittu
This poem was inspired by a true story. One day, someone came to me bearing her heart out. I told her she was enough and made her see why as well. Several weeks later, I asked her permission if I could write about it. Have you ever felt this way? Never forget that you are enough.
powerfully written…”I am enough”
I enjoyed this very much, bravo.
Thank you!
