I make honor roll and play in the orchestra

I take AP classes and do volunteer work

 

I have abilities and ambitions,

Passion and perseverance

 

I’m conscientious and compassionate,

Dedicated and determined

 

I’m polite and poised,

Always respectful

 

I’m the picture of perfection,

Right?

 

WRONG

 

I’m not a fucking Disney princess

I don’t belong up on some pedestal

 

I make mistakes and say stupid things

I use profanity and refuse to wear makeup

 

I have issues and insecurities,

flaws and fears

 

I’m stubborn and sarcastic,

quirky and chaotic

 

I’m messed up and misunderstood,

And sometimes I just lose it

 

I’m nowhere near perfect

But hey, that’s me
