The Truth
I may not be the prettiest
But I am still pretty
I may not be the smartest
But I am still smart
I may not be perfect
But to some I am perfect
I may not be average
But you aren't either
I may not be extraordinary
But I am original
I may not be listening at times
But I am still listening
I may not always be here
But I am
I may not know all the right people
But I know people
So don't start pointing out my flaws
Because you have as many as I do
I may not be the most talented
But I do have a great talent
I might push people away
But I do it so I don't get hurt
I may not be seen always
But I am still noticed
I may not be heard always
But sometimes I am heard
I may not be the nicest
But I am nice
I may not catch your eyes
But I sometimes do
I may not be anyone
But I am someone
I may not be yours
But I am mine
I may not be your friend
But your ally
Stop pulling me down
Because it hurts
I don't show it, but it does
I am done with you treating me like this
I am taking over my life again,
So move!
