"I Am So Much Better Than All of These Things You Tell Me I Am"

-


I am not
I am not all of these things you tell me I am
I am not

I am not lazy 

I am not mean

I am not stupid

I am not fat

I am not ugly

I am not weak

I am not
I am many things but not those
I am 

I am busy

I am kind

I am wise

I am strong

I am beautiful

I am healthy

I am 
I am not all of the things you tell me I am
I am not

I am not crazy
I am not powerless

I am many things but not these
I am
I am struggling

But…
I am
I am so much better than all these things you tell me I am.
