I can't change


Just because I am quiet and don't talk much

Doesn't mean I hate you.

Doesn't mean I'm shy.

It just means I don't feel like talking.

Just because I act like I don't care

Doesn't mean I don't care.

Doesn't mean I can't hear what you're saying about me behind my back.

It just means I don't know how to deal with it right now. 

Just because I don't put much into my appearance everyday

Doesn't mean I'm a slob.

Doesn't mean I'm lazy.

It just means I'm being who I want to be.

I am flawless the way I am. 

I am showing the world that they can't change my thoughts

or viewpoints.

They can't change my inner beauty 

nor my outer beauty. 

They can try,

but in the end,

I'll be the one succeeding.

I'll be the flawless one. 

I'll be perfect in my own way. 

And nothing can change that about me.
