I'm just some girl
Who reads all day
Crying for the characters in the book
Who turns up the music loud
And dances around
Who laughs
When something is funny
And defends
When something is not
Who walks down the halls
With her head down
Who draws on her dreams out
On her sneakers
On her wrists
Who wears a sweatshirt and jeans
Because school is too early in the morning
To care
Who is silent
Until she is with her friends
Who knows everyone's secrets
But would never tell the world
Who knows so much more than you
Who has weird interests
In bands
In national issues
In other languages
In history
In poetry
In art
In Harry Potter
And so much more
A girl who talks to people
Only to encourage them
Who gets broken so much
Who sees everything
Except what the rest of the world sees
A girl who is not afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve
A girl who wants you to know
That I am not depressed
I am not mad at you
That I am happy
That I want to be your friend
That I have flaws
That make me beautiful
I am a beautiful mistake
But you have to take a chance
To see me for what I see myself as
