i haven't put much thought to a title. i just wrote this, just one of my ramblings. let me know how it goes...

label all my insecurities
count them all out
one, two, three, four, five
that's how many i take tonight
if only people knew
there would go my image
if only they knew
I'm no better than them
but sometimes it's easier
to have one sided thought
to think that you have it the worst
everyone has problems
why can't you see
you ARE the same as me
making myself sick trying so hard
trying to be perfect
just like everyone else
maybe I won't be perfect
I just want to be good enough
so I pop these pills
until I'm acceptable
hoping no one will see
who I really am
that is until I'm ready
to accept me first......

I agree with the "right from the heart" sentiment. I think my favorite part is the ending, where there's sort of the realization that liking yourself is most important. All in all.. solid.
