I am who I am


Pretty, smart, beautiful:

That's what they tell you to be.

Why be kind when you are pretty?

Why be caring when you are smart?

Why be helpful when you are beautiful?

But that id not what matters.

I am kind.

I am caring.

I am helpful

No matter what society says, 

I believe that these things matter

And these make me who I am.
