When I love me, things will change.
I won't be so wrapped up in thinking that I'm not good enough.
I won't try to perfect the way I look for anyone.
I won't need to, for true beauty lies within.

When I love me, life will be different.
I won't care if people hate me,
or if they don't like who I'm friends with.
I won't let them judge me;
and I'll do my best not to judge others
because of my own insecurity.

When I love me, I'll be able to forget about
all the bad things in my life.
I'll see the glass half full, rather than half empty.
I'll make choices to the best of my ability
and without someone else's input.
That way, I'll know in my heart it was the right thing to do.

When I love me, nothing will get me down.
I'll be able to look in the mirror and smile,
because I'll be happy with what I see.
I won't be ashamed of what I look like or what I wear.
I won't have to be someone IM not just to please my peers.

When I love me, I'll be able to be myself.
I'll say what's on my mind
and not feel as if I've said the wrong thing.
I'll believe in myself and
believe that I can accomplish my goals.
I'll tell everyone,
"Hey, I did that, and I did it on my own."

When I love me, I'll be able to feel whole.
My life will finally come together and I'll be truly happy.
I won't have to regret what I've done in the past
or what I'm destined to do in the future.
I'll feel like I'm worth something
and that I helped make a difference.
