Imperfectly Me


Behind filters, this is what you see:

 

A girl with confidence, not one of incompetence

A person, like any other, stereotyped and judged, but not letting my opinions budge

 

I am willing to speak my mind, unafraid of the facade I might hide behind

I stand up for what I believe, the greatness I can achieve

 

A girl with a slight temper, but stays calm to remember

A lover of all things outdoors, open to trying any new activities of yours

 

I strive for the best, sometimes without rest

But I work hard to prove only to myself, and not to anyone else

 

A state competitive swimmer, who's enthusiasm cannot be simmered

A girl with a serious sweet tooth, and that’s the truth.

 

Behind these filters

You may see

Some things you wish no one to be

But most all of all behind these filters you will see

Parts of me no one knows

Parts of me I do not show

But these are the parts that make me perfectly imperfect on the surface.
