Behind My Facade
I am the "curl up to read four books in a day" kind of girl.
Though I am no pearl,
I am the "hates makeup and purses" kind of girl.
Now, let it be known,
That I have flown
Many miles to sculpt my own
Version of perfection
As a collection of imperfection
That I proudly wear as a flag,
Similar to a burlap bag;
It will sag, snag, and drag
Across endless frontiers
Bringing tears, cheers, and jeers
From mutineers
Begging for a chance to be heard yet unheard.
I am the "content in my own body" kind of girl,
And I wouldn't change it for any pearl.
