I might not be a size four,

    but when I dance, everyone watches.

I may not be the prettiest girl,

    but when I try I am fire an ice colliding.

I may not be the happiest person,

    but when I smile, just try to tear your gaze away from my face.



I should ignore your ideas on "perfection,"

I am magnificent by just being me.

And you can't tell me taht I need to

    try harder

    be better

   or become "perfect."



Please don't try to fix me,

I'm not broken.

I am happy just being me.
