You are good enough
With your messy hair
Your mismatched socks
And your smelly feet
You are good enough
With your torned jeans
Your unclipped nails
And your subtle smile
You are good enough
For you are you
Unique and the same
Plain and mundane
As you jump out of bed
The alarm clock feels guilty
The hour of preparation
Just became merely minutes
Your carefully combed hair
Always styled to perfection
Is going for straight A’s
But had to settle for B’s
Your ideal cup of coffee
Is made with such patience
That is what you long for
But what time was too short for
As you walk out the door
Your car is shining bright
But the stress you took from home
Left your keys inside
