ME

how sad it is that they do not love themselves
  that others make them who they are
tell them what they should feel
  what they should think
    what they should believe
how sad that I was, as they are now
  needy
   foolish
easily led astray

no more
never again
  I am me
    I am loveable
      I am unique
        I am worthy
          I am beautiful
no one else
is more important 
  to me
   than me
I am
  and will always
be.
