Amina Chinnell-Mateen

If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

5 poems·Since May 2013

My Name is Amina. Simple, Plain, and Different. I've been walking the Earth a total of 20 years. I don't know everything. I never follow fashion trends. I tend to instead set my own. People usually have dumb misconceptions of me. I'm generally nice, and only mean when I have to be. I don't follow everybody's expectations of me. I pretty much fail at pleasing people. I am no where near perfect. But for me that's okay. Being un perfect makes me who I am. I make mistakes everyday, but I learn from them. I love to meet new people. People just generally interest me. As long as you give me respect, you'll get it.
