Poems
Me
By: Peyton White
Kids starring at me
Kids talking with harsh words
“You're ugly”
“You're lame”
“You're not worth it”
My heart sinks
My thoughts turn for the worst
Everyday now
Why am I not good enough
Why am I not beautiful
What did I do
I decided to tell.
Within a week things are better
I have two friends
I have a lunch table with not just me sitting and eating
I’m finally healthy
I’m happy I told
“I’m beautiful”
“I’m worth it”
“I’m strong”
And no one can tell me otherwise
