Me

I am freckled And I may look like a child But I want to be treated like an adult I am quiet And I may be silent most of the time But all the best dreamers are I am rainbow-eyed And I may be sad But it reminds me that I do have happiness somewhere on the inside I am scared of living And I may be timid But I somehow throw back the curtains every day to let in the sun I am alone sometimes And I may act indifferent to it But sometimes all I want is someone to share my loneliness with I am short And many may tower over me But I hope one day to have my voice heard and to be seen among the crowd I am closed-off And it may seem like I have no problems But usually bad thoughts drag me down when no one sees I am protective of my heart And I hid it in a locked drawer for safe-keeping But one day I'll give the key to someone I trust to protect it I am creative And sometimes I may get lost in my own mind But the beauty I can create overshadows the dark thoughts I sometimes have I am forgetful And I may seem uncaring because of it But I always remember the little details many people often overlook I am optimistic And I choose to view life with a positive outlook But despite the harshness of reality I always try to keep my head up I am beautiful And I may not always believe it But I realize now true beauty comes from within, and I like it more that way I am me And I still may have no idea just who that is But day by day, I'm learning it is exactly who I want to be
