You said 
By Shea Akers

You said I wasn’t good enough. 
You said I wasn’t good enough. 
I’ve built a façade, 
And it’s your job, 
To beat it down. 
To beat it down. 

You said I wasn’t skinny enough. 
You said I wasn’t skinny enough. 
How ugly is the word, 
The despicable ‘thin’. 
You shoved it in my face, 
You shoved it in my face. 

You said I wasn’t tough enough. 
You said I wasn’t tough enough. 
I’ve built my wall, 
Stones of lies, 
And you beat me down. 
You beat me down. 

You said I will never be great. 
You said I will never be great. 
But I know that you’re wrong, 
I’ve met someone. 
Now they’re gone. 
Now they’re gone. 

You said I could never live, 
You said I could never live. 
But I’ve discovered myself, 
In himself, 
And he is my hero. 
He is my hero. 

You said that things will never be the same, 
Never be the same, 
But I beg to differ, 
I know better, 
He lives in my heart, 
He lives in my heart. 

He knew I was good enough.
