You cannot change what is a part of you
Although I've often tried.
My body was never thin enough,
My imperfections I'd always hide.
I smiled when they said I was beautiful,
I laughed when they said I was great.
But it took a long time to believe in their words,
I figured lonliness was my fate.
The boys I wanted didn't want me
I was tossed used and torn.
So many took me as a joke,
I crawled inside myself-scared and forlorn.
My self esteem had let me down,
My believe in myself was nil.
I did not understand where i was headed,
Could not understand until...
I finally decided to believe in me
I realized that I was worth so much
This was when I could see
I am enough

Very nice, now this is more like it. Again I like the sentiment and the fact that this is a real piece of verse and honest. I think we all have times when our self-esteem is at a low ebb, so it's a very identifiable emotion. Very well done!
