I Will Love Me (autistic community version)

Took me a while

Now I’m finally here

I just wanna tell you

Make it crystal clear

See I’ve been picked on

Was picked on

Talked ‘bout

Outta their mouth

I’ve been beat down

But I turned my life around

(turned my life around)

Seems like I always fell short

Of bein’ worthy

But I am good enough

I will love me

I ain’t no superstar

Spotlight ain’t made for me

(no, no, no, no, no)

But I am good enough

I will love me

Love me

I used to wake up some days

And wish I’d stayed asleep

‘Cause I went to bed on top of the world

Today the world’s on top of me

Everybody’s got opinions

(they share)

They ain’t been in my position

(do they care)

And it breaks my heart when I hear what they

Have to say about me

(what they say about you)

Seems like I always fall short (fallin’ short)

Of bein' worthy (why ain’t I worthy)

But I am good enough (yeah)

I will love me (will love me)

I ain’t no superstar

Spotlight ain’t made for me

(but I want it for you)

‘Cause we are good enough

We should feel free

I’m not perfect

(I’m not perfect)

They say I do wrong

(they say I do wrong)

I’m trying my best

(trying my best)

Just want to belong

(just want to belong)

Felt shunned by the world

(felt shunned by the world)

So I didn’t succeed

‘Cause I wasn’t understood

I will love me

(I am good enough)

If you felt unworthy just raise your hands

And let me know that you understand

Come stand by me

To be loved, loved

Stand together, not fall alone

Through others’ eyes we all look the same

Can we have a life

Without pain?

Feels like I always fell short

Of bein’ worthy (I was not worthy)

But I am good enough

I will love me

I’m not perfect

You say I do wrong

I’m tryin’ my best but

(tryin’ my best)

Just want to belong

(I am good enough)

Felt shunned by the world

(felt shunned by the world)

So I didn’t succeed

(So I didn’t succeed)

But I am good enough

I will love me

(come sing with me)

Yes I am good enough

I will love me

(raise your hands if ya understand)

Yes I am good enough

(be the Au-thentic you ‘cause I’m Au-thentic too)

I will love me

(I see I was always worthy)

Yes I am good enough

(we are worthy, I’ll be there for you)

I will love me

(we will get through)

I am good enough

(we are good enough)

I will finally love me

(and you finally love you)
