This is me


Here's the me with no filter,

I have acne scars, a little too much weight

and sometimes I won't get out of bed,

I eat too much,

I stay up way too late

and sometimes I just call out of work for no reason,

But...

I am beautiful,

I am powerful, like a hurricane crashing upon the ocean

I am as strong as the waves,

fierce, wild and free.

 

I am a walking contradiction

I am strong willed yet weak minded

I have a passion to strive and half a mind to not do it

 

I am miserable sometimes

and I am thrilled at other times

I can get as angry as a volcano that errupts

I can be as soothing as the lazy river that moves you

 

I am real,

I am me,

I wouldn't want to change who I am.

 

I have my opinions and I will not be struck down by others,

I listen with an open heart and ear

I am stubborn in my worst times

and can be dramatic as hell

 

Sometimes I make no sense

Sometimes I'm a mess

and sometimes I'm not sure who I am

I am perfect,

I am wonderful, powerful, and unstoppable
