Simply Me


Who I am is a good question to ask

I could say a lot of things

But it would be too much to grasp

I am a teenager who has big dreams

I am the type of girl that hates to wear jeans

 

You would not see imperfections on my Facebook pictures

Because everything I post can only come from pre- approved filters

I am hiding who I am from the social world

Because I am scared they will not like my real looks

 

Got to tilt my head and give it a little dip

Can not let them see my double chin

Rearrange my hair to the side

Try to look cool and cover an eye

 

Speaking of which, my eyes are not gleaming

Put some mascara on to keep them from looking dreary

These pimples are too scary

Blemish them to seem more merry

 

Meeting me in person takes away all that

Because people see me for who I am

I am not the girl with the fake glam,

I am a girl who does what she can

 

To make people smile,

To make people laugh,

To make people see that she is a nice gal

To make herself known for her real self

 

Without social media I am just me

A normal girl who likes to be free

I like to have fun

I love to gain knowledge

 

I am just a girl that goes to college

I do not worry about how others will judge me

Because I am satisfied with whom I carry out to be

It does not matter who I meet

 

I am simply me

I aspire to go far in life! I'm pursuing a career in law. I enjoy reading and writing poems more than anything else ever since I can remember, though it may take me a while to settle down and completely write one. Though at times I may lose sight of where I'm headed, I know where I come from and where I want to go. I don't look down on others and I don't like to look behind me. I only move forward, there is no going back to the past.
