I am who I am...

Disclaimer: The picture does not belong to me, all rights go to their rightful owners.

I am the girl that spends her Friday nights with a good book and a box of chocolates.

The girl that is petrified of what the future may hold.

I am the girl that doesn't go to school dances, or games, and when I do go, I am happy to just sit in a corner and read a book.

The girl who has been broken and lied to over and over again.

I am the girl that spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't usually call ‘normal.’

The girl that used to chase the stars and dare to dream.

I am the girl that hasn't been asked out in a year and doesn’t really want to get a boyfriend.

The girl that believed when no one else did.

I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain.

The girl that has always been second best, second choice, second everything.

I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn’t care if people call her weird (it's a compliment), who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more.

The girl that has cried herself to sleep more times than she can care to count.

I am the girl who can express herself better with words than actions, who doesn't need a guy to complete her, and knows the importance of the little things.

The girl that used to keep her heart on her sleeve.

I am the girl who would still insist, “I’m okay,” even if there were tears streaming down my eyes.

The girl that wonders what people truly think about her.

I'm not perfect.

But I am honest and loyal and my decisions aren't always right, but I try to be the best I can be because at the end of the day, I'm just a girl trying to find her place in this world.

I am who I am and no one can really change that.
