[F][L][A][W][L][E][S][S]

I am [F]ar from perfect.

In fact I'm more [L]ike a reject.

I don't fit in with society's w[A]ys.

[W]hy try so hard when you don't want to play?

 

I don't have a twitter and I don't take selfies.

I eat three times a day, I like being healthy.

Pop culture evades me, I rarely watch TV.

I spend my time outdoors amongst the trees.

 

Money has little importance to me. 

Love is all I want, I'm easy to please.

Success is nice but not necessary.

Too much of it makes me wary.

 

Of course I want to feel loved and beautiful

but I don't need the internet for a life that's full.

Of course I sometimes feel lonely and afraid

but I don't need to text for hours a day.

 

I [L]ove the person that I've come to be.

I'm far from p[E]rfect but I'm me. 

I'm not who [S]ociety expects to be happy

but who really cares, [S]ociety's crappy.
