Good Enough for Me

(Originally written to be sung...we'll see)

I am all but perfect
in a condescending world
and the expectations are becoming too much

I am all but Hollywood
just an ordinary girl
but ordinary never is enough

and what they値l never realize
is what I値l always know
and even though I値l doubt myself
the truth will always show
that life痴 not like the movies
and what I am
is good enough for me

I never seem to smile
when the world laughs at me
I call it cruelty
they claim insecurity

standards not met
shoes not filled
I知 only me
but at least that痴 real

and what they値l never realize
is what I値l always know
and even though I値l doubt myself
the truth will always show
that life痴 not like the movies
and what I am
is good enough for me
