#Who Am I?


Everyone wishes they were different including myself.

I don't really know who I am

I wish I was the girl at school who is beautiful, popular and has friends but that is a dream.

In reality, I'm an outsider who's afraid of the world.

 

I think I'm ugly because I have pimples, a big nose, and wears glasses.

I think I'm a dork because I'm shy and quiet.

I think I'm a nerd because I'm smart.

I think I'm weak because I'm scared to defend myself.

 

Sometimes I dream that I am a beautiful, sweet, flawless girl who has dreams of becoming successful...

I want to see myself as the beautiful smart girl, but I can't.

I want to be different but I don't wanna change who I am.

When I want look in the mirror, I cry and then a reflection of me tells me...

 

"I can make a dream into a reality"

"I can be successful if I just believe in myself"

"I am beautiful and I am extraordinary"

"Who I am is gonna be me, ten years for now and I'm not gonna change it"
