Am I a princess, so clean and polite?

Or am I an outsider, who will greet you with a bite?

Do I prefer a perfectly made bed?

Or will you find me with messy hair on my head?

Am I a free spirit or should I be tamed?

Do I need to settle down to avoid being shamed?

Now I am 25 and getting left behind 

by the success my friends were hardworking enough to find.

When I was little, I had huge dreams to achieve,

but the hard work in front of me, I could never perceive.

I floated around, learning things on my own,

but that attitude is one I have outgrown.

Who am I? A smart, witty girl with a desire to learn.

So to college is where I need to return.

This is my chance to get help to get there,

so please, pick me, the poetic extraordinaire.
