This is Me

Ariele Silvas

My teeth are crooked and jagged
And the color of off white
My hands are nail bitten and sharp
And a very dry sight

My hair is poofy and brown
With split tips on the end
My fingers are tough and banged
And they’re kind of bent

I may not be perfect
But this is the way I want to be
Not following the other trends
But just to be me

I don’t want mascara on my lash
Or paste on my face
Or a French manicure on my nails
Or cover up all over the place

I like the color of green and purple
I don’t really like pink
I like to be comfortable not stiff
Because that’s the way I think

I don’t want to grow up too fast
And have make-up on my shelf
I want to be a real teen girl
To always be myself
