My true self


I am one whom is full of quirks, Within myself, weirdness lurks. To others, I may seem strange, But to myself, I seem perfectly arranged. The past me wore a lot of makeup, Because I didn't like what I was made of. I felt as though I had no support, And so I always sold myself short. I thought I was too fat, But who has time for that? I thought people didn't like me, That they were out to spite me. I was then diagnosed with anxiety, And realized I committed impropriety. #nofilterslam
