Me

So, I wrote this poem when I was line in grade 11, but surprisingly, it still makes me feel better and happy about who I am. I really think it was one of those points in your life that you can actually see things clearly and accept things about yourself.

Me

I have big dreams

but underneath them I have straight teeth.

One of my eyes is a tad smaller than the other. My

fingers are fat and kinda knobby.

I will never be as small as my sister.

My hair is too straight.

All my dreams will probably not come true

but my teeth will always be straight.

My eyes will not change and

my fingers

will always stay the same.

I don't wanna be as thin as my sister.

And my hair is nice

I am Me.

What's interesting is those things that I didn't like about myself then is very different now: I don't think my hair is straight enough and I iron it everyday...my fingers aren't so fat and knobby now, I haven't thought about my eyes in SOOOO long....actually forgot that one was a little smaller and I have great curves...I really don't want to be as thin as my sister.

I guess this really shows how much you will look for to be selfconscious about in high school...I remember now wanting to smile cause it really showed my weird eyes!!! How stupid is that?!? I can't even notice it now and NO ONE ever has ever said..."is one of your eyes a quarter of a millimeter smaller than the other?" :)
