As a child I had my parents that
tried to teach me something valuable.
I had them, but all I needed was me.

As a girl in school holding a C average,
Knowing I could carry an A going for my family.
I had them, but all I needed was me.

As a teen parent I look forward to
changing diapers and a check in the mail.
I had them, but all I needed was me.

As a lady with a lump in my breast,
It was a challenge, I was afraid of me.
I had everybody there for me.
I had them but, all I needed was me.

As a woman with a job supporting my
family, an education, a love for a lot of
people, but best of all, a love for me.
Learning to love myself was the hardest
thing I had to do. It is my biggest
success to except me for me.
I am so glad I finally have me.
